INTRODUCTION. 


Huck's  Synopsis  is  a  German  harmony  of  the  First  Three  Gospels.  The 
Greek  text  of  the  Gospels  is  arranged  in  three  parallel  columns,  with  the  parallelism  of 
every  phrase  and  word  showing  in  detail.  In  this  translation,  the  American  Revision 
is  used  instead  of  the  Greek  text.  "  Huck's  volume  is  probably  the  best  thing  we  have 
in  its  class."     This  is  the  opinion  of  a  leading  American  scholar. 

Between  the  First  Three  Gospels  on  the  one  hand  and  the  Book  of  John  on 
the  other,  there  is  a  wide  difference  in  material,  in  purpose,  and  in  point  of  view. 
Whether  there  be  little  or  much  significance  in  these  differences,  there  is,  at  any  rate, 
a  growing  disposition  on  the  part  of  all  New  Testament  scholars  to  study  the  Synoptic 
and  the  Johannine  records  separately.  To  those  who  ponder  over  these  differences  and 
their  significances,  this  book  will  doubtless  be  welcome. 

It  will  also  be  welcome  to  those  who  are  interested  in  the  relation  of  Matthew,  Mark, 
and  Luke  to  one  another,  and  in  the  problem  of  their  sources.  The  work  is  based  on  the 
theory  that  Mark  is  the  original  document.  It  shows,  at  a  glance,  how  the  Mark  and 
the  "  Logia "  sources  were  worked  together  into  Matthew  and  Luke,  and  also  the 
additional  material  derived  from  neither  of  these  two  sources.  It  suggests  the  question, 
Why  is  not  the  material  of  the  " Introduction"  and  the  "Jesus  Risen"  sections  found 
in  Mark,  nor  at  all  in  duplicate  ?  Often  a  word,  phrase,  or  section  is  inserted  in  one 
column  only ;  sometimes  there  are  significant  omissions  from  one  of  the  columns. 
These  appear  at  a  glance,  and  they  always  raise  the  question,  Why?  If  the  Mark 
arrangement,  which  Huck  follows  in  the  Synopsis,  be  accepted  as  chronological,  we 
have  an  order  of  events  very  suggestive  as  compared  with  that  given  in  harmonies  of 
the  four  Gospels. 

The  Old  Testament  Quotations  (see  Appendix)  show,  in  tabulated  form,  the 
Hebrew  character  of  Matthew.  The  Johannine  Parallels  suggest  the  question,  Why 
does  John  duplicate  nearly  twice  as  much  material  from  four  chapters  of  Mark  (xii-xv, 
with  parallels)  as  from  all  the  other  Synoptic  Gospels  combined  ?  The  Parallels  and 
Duplicates  raise  the  query,  Why  are  these  particular  passages,  nearly  all  of  a  peculiar 
and  similar  nature,  so  frequently  imbedded  in  the  Synoptic  stratum  ? 

The  suggestiveness  of  this  Synopsis  to  those  who  take  pleasure  in  inquiry  into 
the  questions  suggested  above,  is  my  apology  for  presenting  it  in  English.  Incident- 
ally, it  is  a  reference  table  of  parallel  passages,  and  contains  excellent  outlines  of  the 
discourse  sections.

INTRODUCTION. 


The  Prologue. 

I:  1-4. 
1  Forasmuch  as  many  have 
taken  in  hand  to  draw  up  a  narra- 
tive concerning  those  matters 
which  have  been  *  fulfilled  among 
us,  2even  as  they  delivered  them 
unto  us,  who  from  the  beginning 
were  eyewitnesses  and  ministers  of 
the  word,  3  it  seemed  good  to  me 
also,  having  traced  the  course  of 
all  things  accurately  from  the  first, 
to  write  unto  thee  in  order,  most 
excellent  Theophilus  ;  4  that  thou 
mightest  know  the  certainty  con- 
cerning the  *  things  *  wherein  thou 
wast  instructed. 

Promise  of  the  Baptist's 
Birth. 

I:  5-25. 

s  There  was  in  the  days  of 
Herod,  king  of  Judea,  a  certain 
priest  named  Zacharias,  of  the 
course  of  Abijah  :  and  he  had  a 
wife  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron, 
and  her  name  was  Elisabeth. 
6  And  they  were  both  righteous 
before  God,  walking  in  all  the 
commandments  and  ordinances  of 
the  Lord  blameless.  7  And  they 
had  no  child,  because  that  Elisa- 
beth was  barren,  and  they  both 
were  now  *  well  stricken  in  years. 

8  Now  it  came  to  pass,  while  he 
executed  the  priest's  office  before 
God  in  the  order  of  his  course, 
9  according  to  the  custom  of  the 
priest's  office,  his  lot  was  to  enter 
into  the  *  temple  of  the  Lord  and 
burn  incense  I0  And  the  whole 
multitude  of  the  people  were  pray- 
ing without  at  the  hour  of  incense. 

11  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the 
right  side  of  the  altar  of  incense. 

12  And  Zacharias  was  troubled 
when  he  saw  him,  and  fear  fell 
upon  him.  13  But  the  angel  said 
unto  him,  Fear  not,  Zacharias  : 
because  thy  supplication  is  heard, 
and  thy  wife  Elisabeth  shall  beai 
thee  a  son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his 
name    John.       14  And    thou    shah

Luke. 

have  joy  and  gladness  ;  and  many 
shall  rejoice  at  his  birth.  16  For 
he  shall  be  great  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  he  shall  drink  no  wine 
nor  *  strong  drink  ;  and  he  shall 
be  filled  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  even 
from  his  mother's  womb.  16  And 
many  of  the  children  of  Israel 
shall  he  turn  unto  the  Lord  their 
God.  17  And  he  shall  *  go  before 
his  face  in  the  spirit  and  power  of 
Elijah,  to  turn  the  hearts  of  the 
fathers  to  the  children,  and  the 
disobedient  to  walk  in  the  wisdom 
of  the  just  ;  to  make  ready  for  the 
Lord  a  people  prepared  for  him. 
18  And  Zacharias  said  unto  the 
angel,  Whereby  shall  I  know  this? 
for  I  am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife 

*  well  stricken  in  years.  19  And 
the  angel  answering  said  unto 
him,  I  am  Gabriel,  that  stand  in 
the  presence  of  God  ;  and  I  was 
sent  to  speak  unto  thee,  and  to 
bring  thee  these  good  tidings. 
20 And  behold,  thou  shalt  be 
silent  and  not  able  to  speak,  until 
the  day  that  these  things  shall 
come  to  pass,  because  thou  be• 
lievedst  not  my  words,  which  shall 
be  fulfilled  in  their  season.  21  And 
the  people  were  waiting  for 
Zacharias,  and  they  marvelled 

*  while  he  tarried  in  the  temple. 
22  And  when  he  came  out,  he  could 
not  speak  unto  them  :  and  they 
perceived  that  he  had  seen  a  vision 
in  the  *  temple  :  and  he  continued 
making  signs  unto  them,  and  re- 
mained dumb.  23  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  days  of  his  minis- 
tration were  fulfilled,  he  departed 
unto  his  house. 

24  And  after  these  days  Elisabeth 
his  wife  conceived  ;  and  she  hid 
herself  five  months,  saying, 
25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  done  unto 
me  in  the  days  wherein  he  looked 
upon  vie,  to  take  away  my  re- 
proach among  men. 

Promise  of  Jesus'  Birth. 

I:  26-38. 

26  Now  in  the  sixth  month  the 
angel  Gabriel  was  sent  from  God 
unto  a  city  of  Galilee,  named 
Nazareth,  27to  a  virgin  betrothed 
to  a  man  whose  name  was  Joseph, 
of  the  house  of  David  ;  and  the 
virgin's  name  was  Mary.     28  And 


Mark. 


Matthew. 


Luke.

he  came  in  unto  her,  and  said, 
Hail,  thou  that  art  ''highly 
favored,  the  Lord  is  with  thee.  * 
29  But  she  was  greatly  troubled  at 
the  saying,  and  cast  in  her  mind 
what  manner  of  salutation  this 
might  be.  30  And  the  angel  said 
unto  her,  Fear  not,  Mary :  for 
thou  hast  found  *  favor  with  God. 

31  And  behold,  thou  shalt  conceive 
in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth  a 
son,  and  shalt  call  his  name  Jests. 

32  He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be 
called  the  Son  of  the  Most  High  : 
and  the  Lord  God  shall  give  unto 
him  the  throne  of  his  father  David  : 

33  and  he  shall  reign  over  the 
house  of  Jacob  *  for  ever ;  and 
of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be 
no  end.  Si  And  Mary  said  unto 
the  angel,  How  shall  this  be,  see- 
ing I  know  not  a  man?  ^And 
the  angel  answered  and  said  unto 
her,  The  Holy  Spirit  shall  come 
upon  thee,  and  the  power  of  the 
Most  High  shall  overshadow  thee  : 
wherefore  also  *  the  holy  thing 
which  is  begotten  *  shall  be  called 
the  Son  of  God.  36And  behold, 
Elisabeth  thy  kinswoman,  she  also 
hath  conceived  a  son  in  her  old 
age  ;  and  this  is  the  sixth  month 
with  her  that  *was  called  barren. 
37  For  no  word  from  God  shall  be 
void  of  power.  <&  And  Mary  said, 
Behold,  the  *  handmaid  of  the 
Lord ;  be  it  unto  me  according  to 
thy  word.  And  the  angel  de- 
parted from  her. 

Mary's  Visit  to  Elisabeth. 

I:  39-56. 
39  And  Mary  arose  in  these  days 
and  went  into  the  hill  country  with 
haste,  into  a  city  of  Judah  ;  40  and 
entered  into  the  house  of  Zacharias 
and  saluted  Elisabeth.  41  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  Elisabeth 
heard  the  salutation  of  Mary,  the 
babe  leaped  in  her  womb ;  and 
Elisabeth  was  filled  with  the  Holy 
Spirit ;  42  and  she  lifted  up  her 
voice  with  a  loud  cry,  and  said, 
Blessed  art  thou  among  women, 
and  blessed  is  the  fruit  of  thy 
womb.  43  And  whence  is  this  to 
me,  that  the  mother  of  my  Lord 
should  come  unto  me  ?  **  For  be- 
hold, when  the  voice  of  thy  salu- 
tation  came   into   mine   ears,   the

Matthew. 


Luke. 

babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for  joy. 

45  And  blessed  is  she  that  *  be- 
lieved ;  for  there  shall  be  a  fulfill- 
ment of  the  things  which  have 
been  spoken  to  her  from  the  Lord. 

46  And    Mary  said, 

My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord, 

47  And  my   spirit  hath  rejoiced  in 

God  my  Saviour. 

48  For  he  hath    looked    upon    the 

low  estate  of  his  *  handmaid  : 
For  behold,  from  henceforth  all 
generations    shall    call    me 
blessed. 

49  For  he  that  is  mighty  hath  done 

to  me  great  things  ; 
And  holy  is  his  name. 

50  And  his  mercy  is  unto  generations 

and  generations 
On  them  that  fear  him. 
&1  He  hath  showed  strength  with 

his  arm ; 
He  hath  scattered  the  proud  *  in 

the  imagination  of  their  heart. 

52  He  hath  put  down  princes  from 

their  thrones, 
And  hath  exalted  them  of  low 
degree. 

53  The  hungry  he  hath  filled  with 

good  things  ; 
And  the  rich  he  hath  sent  empty 
away. 

54  He  hath  given  help  to  Israel  his 

servant, 
That  he  might  remember  mercy 

55  (As  he  spake  unto  our  fathers) 
Toward  Abraham  and  his  seed 

for  ever. 

56  And  Mary  abode  with  her 
about  three  months,  and  returned 
unto  her  house. 

Birth  of  the  Baptist. 

1 :  57-80. 

57  Now  Elisabeth's  time  was  ful- 
filled that  she  should  be  delivered  ; 
and  she  brought  forth  a  son. 
58  And  her  neighbors  and  her  kins- 
folk heard  that  the  Lord  had  mag- 
nified his  mercy  towards  her ;  and 
they  rejoiced  with  her.  fi9  And  it 
came  to  pass  on  the  eighth  day, 
that  they  came  to  circumcise  the 
child ;  and  they  would  have  called 
him  Zacharias,  after  the  name  of 
his  father.  m  And  his  mother 
answered  and  said,  Not  so  ;  but  he 
shall  be  called  John.  61  And  they 
said  unto  her,  There  is  none  of 
thy  kindred  that  is  called  by  this

Matthew. 


Luke. 21 

name.  62  And  they  made  signs  to 
his  father,  what  he  would  have 
him  called.  ω  And  he  asked  for  a 
writing  tablet,  and  wrote,  saying, 
His  name  is  John.  And  they 
marvelled  all.  MAnd  his  mouth 
was  opened  immediately,  and  his 
tongue  loosed,  and  he  spake,  bless- 
ing God.  m  And  fear  came  on  all 
that  dwelt  round  about  them  :  and 
all  these  sayings  were  noised  abroad 
throughout  all  the  hill  country  of 
Judcea.  66  And  all  that  heard  them 
laid  them  up  in  their  heart,  saying, 
What  then  shall  this  child  be? 
For  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with 
him.  67  And  his  father  Zacharias 
was  filled  with  the  Holy  Spirit, 
and  prophesied,  saying, 

68  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of 

Israel ; 
For  he  hath  visited  and  wrought 
redemption  for  his  people, 

69  And  hath  raised  up  a  horn  of 

salvation  for  us 
In  the  house  of  his  servant  David 

70  (As  he  spake  by  the  mouth  of 

his  holy   prophets   that  have 
been  from  of  old), 

71  Salvation  from  our  enemies,  and 

from  the  hand  of  all  that  hate 
us ; 

72  To    show    mercy    towards    our 

fathers, 
And  to  remember  his  holy  cove- 
nant ; 

73  The  oath  which  he  sware  unto 

Abraham  our  father, 

74  To  grant  unto  us  that  we  being 

delivered  out  of  the  hand  of 
our  enemies 
Should  serve  him  without  fear, 

75  In    holiness    and    righteousness 

before  him  all   our   days. 

76  Yea  and  thou,   child,    shalt  be 

called  the  prophet  of  the  Most 
High : 
For    thou    shalt    go   before    the 
face  of  the  Lord  to  make  ready 
his  ways ; 

77  To  give  knowledge  of  salvation 

unto  his  people 
In  the  remission  of  their  sins, 
7»  Because  of  the  *  tender  mercy  of 
our  God, 
*  Whereby  the  dayspring  from  on 
high  *  shall  visit  us, 
79  To  shine  upon  them  that  sit  in 
darkness  and  the   shadow  of 
death ;

To  guide  our  feet  into  the  way

80  And  the  child  grew,  and 
waxed  strong  in  spirit,  and  was  in 
the  deserts  till  the  day  of  his 
showing  unto  Israel.

to  make  her  a  public  example,  was 
minded  to  put  her  away  privily. 
20  But  when  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  an  angel  of  the 
Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a 
dream,  saying,  Joseph,  thou  son  of 
David,  fear  not  to  take  unto  thee 
Mary  thy  wife  :  for  that  which  is 
"conceived  in  her  is  of  the  Holy 
Spirit.  2I  And  she  shall  bring  forth 
a  son  ;  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
Jesus  ;  for  it  is  he  that  shall  save 
his  people  from  their  sins.  22  Now 
all  this  is  come  to  pass,  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
by  the  Lord  through  the  prophet, 
saying, 
23  *  Behold,    the    virgin    shall    be 

with    child,    and    shall    bring 

forth  a  son, 
And    they   shall   call   his   name 

*  Immanuel ; 
which  is,  being  interpreted,  God 
with  us.  s4  And  Joseph  arose 
from  his  sleep,  and  did  as  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  commanded 
him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife  ; 
25  and  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  a  son  :  and  he  called 
his  name  Jesus.

Virgin  Birth. 

II:   1-20. 

1  Now  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  there  went  out  a  decree  from 
Caesar  Augustus,  that  all  *the 
world  should  be  enrolled.  2This 
was  the  first  enrollment  made  when 
Quirinius   was   governor  of  Syria. 

3  And  all  went  to  enroll  them- 
selves, every  one  to  his  own  city. 

4  And  Joseph  also  went  up  from 
Galilee,  out  of  the  city  of  Nazareth, 
into  Judaea,  to  the  city  of  David, 
which  is  called  Bethlehem,  be- 
cause he  was  of  the  house  and 
family  of  David  ;  5  to  enroll  him- 
self with  Mary,  who  was  betrothed 
to  him,    being   great   with   child. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they 
were  there,  the  days  were  fulfilled 
that    she    should     be     delivered. 

7  And  she  brought  forth  her  first 
born  son;  and  she  wrapped  him  in 
swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  him  in 
a  manger,  because  there  was  no 
room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

8  And  there  were  shepherds  in 
the  same  country  abiding  in   the

field,  and  keeping,  *  watch  by 
night  over  their  flock.  9  And  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  stood  by  them, 
and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shone 
round  about  them :  and  they  were 
sore  afraid.  10  And  the  angel  said 
unto  them,  Be  not  afraid  ;  for  be- 
hold, I  bring  you  good  tidings  of 
great  joy  which  shall  be  to  all  the 
people :  u  for  there  is  born  to  you 
this  day  in  the  city  of  David  a 
Saviour,  who  is  *  Christ  the  Lord. 
12  And  this  is  the  sign  unto  you : 
Ye  shall  find  a  babe  wrapped  in 
swaddling  clothes,  and  lying  in  a 
manger.  13And  suddenly  there 
was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of 
the  heavenly  host  praising  God, 
and  saying, 

14  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 
And    on    earth    *  peace    among 

*  men    in   whom    he    is    well 
pleased. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  angels  went  away  from  them 
into  heaven,  the  shepherds  said 
one  to  another,  Let  us  now  go 
even  unto  Bethlehem,  and  see  this 
*  thing  that  is  come  to  pass,  which 
the  Lord  hath  made  known  unto 
us.  16  And  they  came  with  haste, 
and  found  both  Mary  and  Joseph, 
and  the  babe  lying  in  the  manger. 
17  And  when  they  saw  it,  they 
made  known  concerning  the  saying 
which  was  spoken  to  them  about 
this  child.  18  And  all  that  heard 
it  wondered  at  the  things  which 
were  spoken  unto  them  by  the 
shepherds.  19  But  Mary  kept  all 
these  *  sayings,  pondering  them  in 
her  heart.  20  And  the  shepherds 
returned,  glorifying  and  praising 
God  for  all  the  things  that  they 
had  heard  and  seen,  even  as  it  was 
spoken  unto  them. 

Circumcision  and  Presen- 
tation. 

II  :  21-39. 

21  And  when  eight  days  were 
fulfilled  for  circumcising  him,  his 
name  was  called  Jesus,  which  was 
so  called  by  the  angel  before  he 
was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  the  days  of  their 
purification  *  according  to  the  law 
of  Moses  were  fulfilled,  they 
brought  him  up  to  Jerusalem,  to 
present  him  to  the  Lord  w  (as  it  is

Mark,

Luke. 

written  in  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
*  Every  male  that  openeth  the 
womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the 
Lord),  24and  to  offer  a  sacrifice 
according  to  that  which  is  said  in 
the  law  of  the  Lord,  *A  pair  of 
turtle-doves,  or  two  young  pigeons. 

25  And  behold,  there  was  a  man  in 
Jerusalem,  whose  name  was 
Simeon  ;  and  this  man  was  right- 
eous and  devout,  looking  for  the 
consolation  of  Israel :  and  the 
Holy    Spirit    was    upon    him. 

26  And  it  had  been  revealed  unto 
him  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  he 
should  not  see  death,  before  he 
had    seen    the    Lord' s    Christ. 

27  And  he  came  in  the  Spirit  into 
the  temple  :  and  when  the  parents 
brought  in  the  child  Jesus,  that 
they  might  do  concerning  him 
after   the   custom    of   the    law, 

28  then  he  received  him  into  his 
arms,  and  blessed  God,  and 
said, 

29  Now    lettest   thou    thy  *  servant 

depart,  *  Lord, 
According   to   thy    word    in 
peace ; 

30  For    mine   eyes  have   seen   thy 

salvation, 

31  Which  thou  hast  prepared  before 

the  face  of  all  peoples  ; 

32  A   light   for    *  revelation  to  the 

Gentiles, 
And    the    glory    of   thy   people 
Israel. 

33  And  his  father  and  his  iother 
were  marveling  at  the  things 
which  were  spoken  concerning 
him;  34and  Simeon  blessed  them, 
and  said  unto  Mary  his  mother, 
Behold,  this  child  is  set  for  the 
falling  and  the  rising  of  many  in 
Israel  ;  and  for  a  sign  which  is 
spoken  against ;  ss  y  e  a  and  a 
sword  shall  pierce  through  thine 
own  soul ;  that  thoughts  out  of 
many  hearts  may  be  revealed. 
36  And  there  was  one  Anna,  a 
prophetess,  the  daughter  of 
Phanuel,  of  the  tribe  of  Asher 
(she  was  *of  a  great  age,  having 
lived  with  a  husband  seven  years 
from  her  virginity,  S7  and  she 
had  been  a  widow  even  unto  four- 
score and  four  years),  who  de- 
parted not  from  the  temple, 
worshiping  with  fastings  and  sup- 
plications night  and  day.     w  And

coming  up  at  that  very  hour  she 
gave  thanks  unto  God,  and  spake 
of  him  to  all  them  that  were 
looking  for  the  redemption  of 
Jerusalem.  39  And  when  they  had 
accomplished  all  things  that  were 
according  to  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
they  returned  into  Galilee,  to  their 
own  city  Nazareth. 


1  Now  when  Jesus  was  born  in 
Bethlehem  of  Judaea  in  the  days  of 
Herod  the  king,  behold,  *  Wise- 
men  from  the  east  came  to  Jeru- 
salem, saying,  2*  Where  is  he  that 
is  born  King  of  the  Jews?  for  we 
saw  his  star  in  the  east,  and  are 
come  to  *  worship  him.  3  And 
when  Herod  the  king  heard  it,  he 
was  troubled,  and  all  Jerusalem 
with  him.  4  And  gathering  to- 
gether all  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  of  the  people,  he  inquired 
of  them  where  the  Christ  should 
be  born.  5  And  they  said  unto 
him,  In  Bethlehem  of  Judaea :  for 
thus  it  is  written  through  the 
prophet, 

6  *And  thou  Bethlehem,   land  of 

Judah, 
Art  in  no  wise  least  among  the 

princes  of  Judah : 
For  out  of  thee  shall  come  forth 

a  governor, 
Who   shall  be  shepherd  of  my 

people  Israel. 

7  Then  Herod  privily  called  the 
Wise-men,  and  learned  of  them 
exactly  *  what  time  the  star  ap- 
peared. 8  And  he  sent  them  to 
Bethlehem,  and  said,  Go  and 
search  out  exactly  concerning  the 
young  child ;  and  when  ye  have 
found  him,  bring  me  word,  that  I 
also  may  come  and  ""'worship 
him.  9  And  they,  having  heard 
the  king,  went  their  way  ;  and  lo, 
the  star,  which  they  saw  in  the 
east,  went  before  them,  till  it  came 
and  stood  over  where  the  young 
child  was.  10  And  when  they  saw 
the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceed- 
ing great  joy.  n  And  they  came 
into  the  house  and  saw  the  young 
child  with  Mary  his  mother;  and 
they  fell  down  and  worshipped 
him ;  and  opening  their  treasures 
they  offered  unto  him  gifts,  gold

and  frankincense  and  myrrh. 
12  And  being  warned  of  God  in  a 
dream  that  they  should  not  return 
to  Herod,  they  departed  into  their 
own  country  another    way. 

13  Now  when  they  were  departed, 
behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  to  Joseph  in  a  dream,  say- 
ing, Arise  and  take  the  young 
child  and  his  mother,  and  flee  into 
Egypt,  and  be  thou  there  until  I 
tell  thee  :  for  Herod  will  seek  the 
young  child  to  destroy  him. 
14  And  he  arose  and  took  the  young 
child  and  his  mother  by  night,  and 
departed  into  Egypt ;  15  and  was 
there  until  the  death  of  Herod : 
that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  Lord  through  the 
prophet,  saying,  *  Out  of  Egypt  did 
I  call  my  son. 

16  Then  Herod,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  mocked  of  the  Wise- 
men,  was  exceeding  wroth,  and 
sent  forth,  and  slew  all  the  male 
children  that  were  in  Bethlehem, 
and  in  all  the  borders  thereof, 
from  two  years  old  and  under,  ac- 
cording to  the  time  which  he  had 
exactly  learned  of  the  Wise-men. 

17  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  through  Jeremiah  the 
prophet,  saying, 

18  *  A  voice  was  heard  in  Ramah, 
Weeping  and  great  mourning, 
Rachel  weeping  for  her  children  ; 
And  she  would  not  be  comforted, 

because  they  are  not. 
19  But  when  Herod  was  dead, 
behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  in  a  dream  to  Joseph  in 
Egypt,  saying,  20  Arise  and  take 
the  young  child  and  his  mother, 
and  go  into  the  land  of  Israel :  for 
they  are  dead  that  sought  the 
young  child's  life.  21  And  he  arose 
and  took  the  young  child  and  his 
mother,  and  came  into  the  land 
of  Israel.  22  But  when  he 
heard  that  Archelaus  was  reigning 
over  Judaea  in  the  room  of  his 
father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to  go 
thither  ;  and  being  warned  of  God 
in  a  dream,  he  withdrew  into  the 
parts  of  Galilee,  23  and  came  and 
dwelt  in  a  city  called  Nazareth; 
that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  through  the  prophets 
*  that  he  should  be  called  a  Naza- 
rene.

An  Incident  from  Boyhood. 

II :  40-52. 

40  And  the  child  grew,  and 
waxed  strong,  *  filled  with  wisdom  : 
and  the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

41  And  his  parents  went  every 
year  to  Jerusalem  at  the  feast  of 
the  passover.  ^  And  when  he  was 
twelve  years  old,  they  went  up 
after  the  custom  of  the  feast ; 
43  and  when  they  had  fulfilled  the 
days,  as  they  were  returning,  the 
boy  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jeru- 
salem ;  and  his  parents  knew  it 
not ;  **  but  supposing  him  to  be  in 
the  company,  they  went  a  day's 
journey ;  and  they  sought  for  him 
among  their  kinsfolk  and  acquaint- 
ance :  ^  and  when  they  found  him 
not,  they  returned  to  Jerusalem, 
seeking  for  him.  46  And  it  came 
to  pass,  after  three  days  they  found 
him  in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the 
midst  of  the  *  teachers,  both  hear- 
ing them,  and  asking  them  ques- 
tions :  47  and  all  that  heard  him 
were  amazed  at  his  understanding 
and  his  answers.  ^  And  when 
they  saw  him,  they  were  aston- 
ished ;  and  his  mother  said  unto 
him,  *  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus 
dealt  with  us  ?  behold,  thy  father 
and  I  sought  thee  sorrowing. 
49  And  he  said  unto  them,  How  is  it 
that  ye  sought  me?  knew  ye  not 
that  I  must  be  *  in  my  Father' s 
house  ?  δ0  And  they  understood 
not  the  saying  which  he  spake  unto 
them.  51  And  he  went  down  with 
them,  and  came  to  Nazareth ;  and 
he  was  subject  unto  them  :  and  his 
mother  kept  all  these  *  sayings  in 
her  heart. 

52  And  Jesus  advanced  in  wisdom 
and  *  stature,  and  in  *favor  with 
God  and  men.

4  John  came,  who  baptized  in  the

tism of  repentance  unto  remission  of 
sins.  eAnd  there  went  out  unto 
him  all  the  country  of  Judrea,  and 
all  they  of  Jerusalem ;  and  they 
were  baptized  of  him  in  the  river 
Jordan,  confessing  their  sins.  6And 
John  was  clothed  with  camel's  hair, 
and  had  a  leathern  girdle  about 
his  loins,  and  did  eat  locusts  and 
wild  honey. 


Matthew. 


1  And  in  those  days  cometh  John 
the  Baptist,  preaching  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Judiea,  saying,  2  Repent 
ye;  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
at  hand.  3  For  this  is  he  that  was

:The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the

Make  ye  ready  the  way  of  the

4  Now  John  himself  had  his  rai- 
ment of  camel's  hair,  and  a  leath- 
ern girdle  about  his  loins ;  and 
his  food  was  locusts  and  wild 
honey.  5  Then  went  out  unto  him 
Jerusalem,  and  all  Judiea,  and  all 
the  region  round  about  the  Jordan  ; 
6  and  they  were  baptized  of  him 
in  the  river  Jordan,  confessing 
their  sins.

3  And  he  came  into  all  the  region 
round  about  the  Jordan,  preaching 
the  baptism  of  repentance  unto 
remission  of  sins  ;  4  as  it  is  written 
in  the  book  of  the  words  of  Isaiah 
the  prophet, 


*  The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the 

wilderness, 
Make  ye  ready  the  way  of  the 

Lord, 
Make  his  paths  straight. 

5  Every  valley  shall  be  filled,

And  the  rough  ways  smooth  ;

"  But  when  he  saw  many  of  the 
Pharisees  and  Sadducees  com- 
ing *to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto 
them,  Ye  offspring  of  vipers,  who 
warned  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath 
to  come?  8  Bring  forth  therefore 
fruit  worthy  of  *  repentance  :  9  and 
think  not  to  say  within  yourselves, 
We  have  Abraham  to  our  father : 
for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God  is  able 
of  these  stones  to  raise  up  children

would  have  hindered  him,  saying, 
I  have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee, 
and  comest  thou  to  me  ?  Vo  But 
Jesus  answering  said  unto  him, 
Suffer  -'it  now  :  for  thus  it  be- 
cometh  us  to  fulfill  all  righteous- 
ness. Then  he  suffereth  him. 
16  And  Jesus, .  when  he  was  bap- 
tized, went  up  straightway  from 
the   water :    and    lo,   the    heavens 


III:   15-18. 
15  And  as  the  people  were  in  ex- 
pectation, and  all  men  reasoned  in 
their    hearts    concerning    John, 
whether  haply  he  were  the  Christ ; 

16  John  answered,  saying  unto  them 
all,  I  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water  ;  but 

there  cometh  he  that  is 
mightier  than  I,        the  latchet  of 
whose  shoes  I  am  not  "worthy  to 
unloose  :  he  shall  baptize  you  *  in 
the    Holy  Spirit    and  in  fire : 

17  whose  fan  is  in  his  hand, 
thoroughly  to  cleanse  his  threshing- 
floor,  and  to  gather  the  wheat 
into  his  garner ;  but  the  chaff  he 
will  burn  up  with  unquenchable  fire. 

18  With  many  other  exhortations 
therefore  preached  he  "good  tid- 
ings unto  the  people. 

Ill:  21,  22. 


21  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
the  people  were  baptized,  that, 
Jesus  also  having  been  baptized.

12  And  straightway  the  Spirit 
driveth  him  forth  into  the  wilder- 
ness. 13  And  he  was  in  the  wil- 
derness forty  days  tempted  of 
Satan  ;  and  he  was  with  the  wild 
beasts ; 


and    the    angels    ministered    unto 
him. 


The  Temptation  of  Jesus. 

IV:  1-11 


1  Then  was  Jesus  led  up  of  the 
Spirit  into  the  wilderness  to  be 
tempted  of  the  devil.  2  And  when 
he  had  fasted  forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  he  afterward  hungered. 

3  And  the  tempter  came  and  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  art  the  Son  of 
God,  command  that  these  stones 
become  *  bread.  4  But  he  an- 
swered and  said,  It  is  written, 
*  Man  shall  not  live  by  bread  alone, 
but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth 
out  of  the  mouth  of  God.  5Then  the 
devil  taketh  him  into  the  holy  city; 
and  he  set  him  on  the  "pinnacle  of 
the  temple,  6  and  saith  unto  him,  If 
thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thy- 
s  e  1  f    d  ο  w  η  :  for    it    is 

written, 
*  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge 

concerning  thee  : 
and, 
On  their  hands  they  shall  bear 

thee  up, 
Lest  haply   thou  dash    thy  foot 

against  a  stone. 
7  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Again  it  is 
written,  *  Thou  shalt  not  make 
trial  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  8  Again, 
the  devil  taketh  him  unto  an  ex- 
ceeding high  mountain,  and 
showeth  him  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  world,  and  the  glory  of  them ; 
9  and  he  said  unto  him,  All  these 
things  will  I  give  thee,  if  thou  wilt 
fall  down  and  *  worship  me. 


10  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Get 
thee  hence,  Satan :  for  it  is  written, 
*  Thou  shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

11  Then  the  devil  leaveth  him  ;  and 
behold,  angels  came  and  ministered 
unto  him. 


IV:  1-13. 

1  And  Jesus,  full  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  returned  from  the  Jordan, 
and  was  led  in  the  Spirit  in  the 
wilderness  2  during  forty  days, 
being  tempted  of  the  devil.  And 
he  did  eat  nothing  in  those  days  : 
and  when  they  were  completed,  he 
hungered. 

3  And  the  devil  said  unto  him, 
If  thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  com- 
mand this  stone  that  it  become 
*  bread.  4  And  Jesus  answered 
unto  him,  It  is  written,  *  Man  shall 
not  live  by  bread  alone. 


9  And  he  led  him  to  Jerusalem, 
and  set  him  on  the  *  pinnacle  of 
the  temple,  and  said  unto  him,   If 
thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thy- 
self down  from  hence  :  10  for  it  is 
written, 
*  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge 
concerning  thee,  to  guard  thee  : 
"and, 
On    their  hands  they  shall  bear 

thee  up, 
Lest   haply    thou  dash   thy  foot 
against  a  stone. 

12  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  It  is  said,  *  Thou  shalt  not 
make  trial  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 
δ  And  he  led  him  up,  and  showed 
him  all  the  kingdoms  of  *the 
world  in  a  moment  of  time.  6  And 
the  devil  said  unto  him,  To  thee 
will  I  give  all  this  authority,  and 
the  glory  of  them  :  for  it  hath  been 
delivered  unto  me  ;  and  to  whom- 
soever I  will  I  give  it.  7  If  thou 
therefore  wilt  *  worship  before 
me,  it  shall  all  be  thine.  8  And 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  It  is  written, 
Thou  shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

13  And  when  the  devil  had  completed 
every  temptation,  he  departed  from 
him  :•''  for  a  season.

14  Now  after  John  was  delivered 
up,  Jesus  came  into  Galilee, 


preaching  the  gospel  of  God  ls  and 
saying,  The  time  is  fulfilled,  and 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  at  hand : 
repent  ye,  and  believe  in  the

Jesus'  Return  to  Galilee. 

IV:  12-17. 

12  Now  when  he  heard  that  John 
was  delivered  up,  he  withdrew  into 
Galilee;  13and  leaving  Nazareth, 
he  came  and  dwelt  in  Capernaum, 
which  is  by  the  sea,  in  the  borders 
of  Zebulun  and  Naphtali :  14  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
through  Isaiah  the  prophet,  saying, 
16  *  The  land  of  Zebulun   and  the 

land  of  Naphtali, 
*  Toward    the    sea,    beyond    the 
Jordan, 

Galilee  of  the  *  Gentiles, 
16  The  people  that  sat  in  darkness 

Saw  a  great  light, 

And    to    them    that    sat   in    the 
region  and  shadow  of  death, 
To  them  did  light  spring  up. 

17  From  that  time  began  Jesus  to 
preach,  and  to  say,  Repent  ye ; 
for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at 
hand. 


IV:  14,   15. 
14  And    Jesus    returned    in    the 
power  of  the  Spirit  into  Galilee  : 


and  a  fame  went  out  concerning 
him  through  all  the  region  round 
about.  15  And  he  taught  in  their 
synagogues,  being  glorified  of  all. 


I:  16-20. 
16  And  passing  along  by  the  sea 
of  Galilee,  he  saw  Simon  and 
Andrew  the  brother  of  Simon  cast- 
ing a  net  in  the  sea  ;  for  they  were 
fishers.  17  And  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  Come  ye  after  me,  and  I 
will  make  you  to  become  fishers  of 
men.  18  And  straightway  they  left 
the     nets,     and     followed     him. 

19  And  going  on  a  little  further,  he 
saw  *  James  the  son  of  Zebedee, 
and  John  his  brother,  who  also 
were  in  the  boat  mending  the  nets. 

20  And  straightway  he  called  them  : 
and  they  left  their  father  Zebedee 
in  the  boat  with  the  hired  servants, 
and  went  after  him. 


Call  of  the  First  Disciples. 

IV:   18-22. 

18  And  walking  by  the  sea  of 
Galilee,  he  saw  two  brethren, 
Simon  who  is  called  Peter,  and 
Andrew  his  brother,  casting  a  net 
into  the  sea ;  for  they  were  fishers. 
19  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Come 
ye  after  me,  and  I  will  make  you 
fishers  of  men.  20And  they 
straightway  left  the  nets,  and  fol- 
lowed him.  21  And  going  on  from 
thence  he  saw  two  other  brethren, 
*  James  the  son  of  Zebedee,  and 
John  his  brother,  in  the  boat  with 
Zebedee  their  father,  mending  their 
nets  ;  and  he  called  them.  22  And 
they  straightway  left  the  boat  and 
their  father,  and  followed  him.

1  Now  it  came  to  pass,  while 
the  multitude  pressed  upon  him 
and  heard  the  word  of  God,  that 
he  was  standing  by  the  lake  of 
Gennesaret  ;  2  and  he  saw  two 
boats  standing  by  the  lake  :  but 
the  fishermen  had  gone  out  of 
them,  and  were  washing  their  nets.    J*  ^j>f

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of  the 
boats,  which  was  Simon's,  and 
asked  him  to  put  out  a  little  from 
the  land.  And  he  sat  down  and 
taught  the  multitudes  out  of  the 
boat.  4  And  when  he  had  left 
speaking,  he  said  unto  Simon,  Put 
out  into  the  deep,  and  let  down 
your  nets  for  a  draught.  δ  And 
Simon  answered  and  said,  Master, 
we  toiled  all  night,  and  took  noth- 
ing :  but  at  thy  word  I  will  let 
down  the  nets.  6And  when  they 
had  done  this,  they  inclosed  a 
great  multitude  of  fishes  ;  and  their 
nets  were  breaking ;  7  and  they 
beckoned  unto  their  partners  in 
the  other  boat,  that  they  should 
come  and  help  them.  And  they 
came,  and  filled  both  the  boats,  so 
that  they  began  to  sink.  8  But 
Simon  Peter,  when  he  saw  it,  fell 
down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying,  De- 
part from  me;  for  I  am  a  sinful 
man,  Ο  Lord.  9  For  he  was 
amazed,  and  all  that  were  with 
him,  at  the  draught  of  the  fishes 
which  they  had  taken ;  10  and  so 
were  also  *  James  and  John,  sons 
of  Zebedee,  who  were  partners 
with  Simon.  And  Jesus  said  unto 
Simon,  Fear  not ;  from  henceforth 
thou  shalt  *  catch  men.  ll  And  when 
they  had  brought  their  boats  to 
land,  they  left  all,  and  followed 
him. 


In  the  Capernaum  Synagogue. 


I:  21-28. 


21  And  they  go  into  Capernaum  ; 
and  straightway  on  the  sabbath  day 
he  entered  into  the  synagogue  and 
taught.  ^And  they  were  astonished 
at  his  teaching:  for  he  taught  them  as 
having  authority,  and  not  as  the 
scribes.  23  And  straightway  there 
was  in  their  synagogue  a  man 

with  an  unclean  spirit ;  and  he 
cried  out,  2i  saying, 
What  have  we  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus 
thou  Nazarene  ?  art  thou  come  to 
destroy  us  ?  I  know  thee  who  thou 
art,  the  Holy  Ο  η  e  of  G  ο  d  . 
^And  Jesus  rebuked  *  him,  saying, 
Hold  thy  peace  and  come  out  of 
him.  26And  the  unclean  spirit, 
*  tearing  him  and  crying  with  a 
loud  voice,  came  out  of 
him. 
27  And  they  were  all  amazed, 


IV:  31-37. 


31  And  he  came  down  to  Caper- 
naum, a  city  of  Galilee.  And  he 
was  teaching  them  on  the  sabbath 
day  :  32  and  they  were  astonished 
at  his  teaching ;  for  his  word  was 
with  authority.    ^And  in  the 

synagogue  there  was  a  man,  that  had 
a  spirit  of  an  unclean  demon ;  and  he 
cried  out  with  a  loud  voice,  3*  *  Ah  ! 
what  have  we  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus 
thou  Nazarene  ?  art  thou  come  to 
destroy  us  ?  I  know  thee  who  thou 
art,  the  Holy  One  of  God. 
35  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying, 
Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of 
him.  And  when  the  demon  had 
thrown  him  down  in  the  midst,  he 
came  out  of  him,  having  done  him 
no  hurt. 
36And  amazement  came  upon  all, 


Mark. 

insomuch  that  they  questioned 
among  themselves,  saying,  What 
is  this?  a  new  teaching!  with 
authority  he  commandeth  even  the 
unclean  spirits,  and  they  obey  him. 
2tl  And  the  report  of  him  went  out 
straightway  everywhere  into  all  the 
region  of  Galilee  round  about. 


Matthew.

and  they  spake  together,  one  with 
another,  saying,  what  is  "this  word? 
for  with  authority  and  power  he 
commandeth  the  unclean  spirits 
and  they  come  out.  37  And  there 
went  forth  a  rumor  concerning  him 
into  every  place  of  the  region 
round  about. 


The  Recovery  of  Peter's  Mother-in-Law. 


I:  29-31. 

29 And  straightway,  "when  they 
were  come  out  of  the  synagogue, 
they  came  into  the  house  of  Simon 
and  Andrew,  with  James  and  John. 
30  Now  Simon's  wife's  mother  lay 
sick  of  a  fever ;  and  straightway 
they  tell  him  of  her:  31  and  he  came 
and  took  her  by  the  hand,  and 
raised  her  up ;  and  the  fever  left 
her,  and  she  ministered  unto  them. 


VIII :   14,  15. 


14  And    when   Jesus    was   come 
into  Peter's  house,  he 

saw  his  wife's  mother  lying  sick  of 
a  fever.  15  And  he  touched  her 
hand,  and  the  fever  left  her  ;  and 
she  arose,  and  ministered  unto 
him. 


IV  :  38,  39. 


38  And  he  rose  up  from  the  syna- 
gogue, and  entered  into  the  house 
of  Simon.  And  Simon's  wife's 
mother  was  holden  with  a  great 
fever ;  and  they  besought  him  for 
her.  39  And  he  stood  over  her, 
and  rebuked  the  fever  ;  and  it  left 
her  :  and  immediately  she  rose  up 
and  ministered  unto  them. 


I :  32-34. 
32  And  at  even,  when  the  sun 
did  set,  they  brought  unto  him  all 
that  were  sick,  and  them  that  were 
"•possessed  with  demons.  33  And 
all  the  city  was  gathered  together 
at  the  door.  34  And  he  healed 
many  that  were  sick  with  divers 
diseases,  and  cast  out  many 
demons  ; 

and   he    suffered  not  the    demons 
to  speak,  because  they  knew  him".

16  And    when    even    was    come, 
they  brought  unto  him  many 

"  possessed  with  demons  : 

and  he  cast  out  the  spirits  with 
a  word,  and  healed  all  that  were 
sick  : 


17  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  through  Isaiah  the 
prophet,  saying,  *  Himself  took 
our  infirmities,  and  bare  our  dis- 
eases. 


IV:  40,  41. 
40  And  when  the  sun  was  setting, 
all  they  that  had  any  sick  with  divers 
diseases  brought  them  unto  him  ; 


and  he  laid  his  hands  on  every  one 
of  them,  and  healed  them.  41  And 
demons  also  came  out  from  many, 
crying  out,  and  saying,  Thou  art 
the  Son  of  God.  And  rebuking 
them,  he  suffered  them  not  to 
speak,  because  they  knew  that  he 
was  the  Christ. 


The  Flight  of  Jesus. 


I:  35-38. 

35  And  in  the  morning,  a  great 
while  before  day,  he  rose  up  and 
went  out,  and  departed  into  a 
desert  place,  and  there  prayed. 
36  And  Simon  and  they  that  were 
with  him  followed  after  him ;  37 
and  they  found  him,  and  say  unto 
him,  All  are  seeking  thee.  38And 
he  saith  unto  them,  Let  us  go 
elsewhere  into  the  next  towns, 
that  I  may  preach  there  also  ;  for 
to  this  end  came  I  forth. 


IV :  42,  43. 

42  And  when  it  was  day,  he 
came  out  and  went  into  a  desert 
place  :  and  the  multitudes  sought 
after  him,  and  came  unto  him,  and 
would  have  stayed  him,  that  he 
should  not  go  from  them. 

43But  he  said  unto  them,  I  must 
preach  the  good  tidings  of  the 
kingdom  of  God  to  the  other  cities 
also  :  for  therefore  was  I  sent.

and  when  he  saw  Jesus,  he  fell  on 
his  face,  and  besought  him,  saying, 
Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make• 
me  clean. 

13  And  he  stretched  forth 
his  hand,  and  touched  him, 
saying,  I  will  ;  be  thou 

made  clean.  And  straightway  the 
leprosy  departed  from  him. 


"And    he 
charged   him    to    tell 

no  man  : 
but  go  thy  way,  and  show  thyself  to 
the  priest ,  and  offer  for  thy  cleansing, 
'"according  as  Moses  com- 
manded, for  a  testimony  unto  them. 
15  But  so  much  the  more  went 
abroad  the  report  concerning  him  : 
and  great  multitudes  came  together 
to  hear,  and  to  be  healed  of  their 
infirmities.  16But  he  withdrew 
himself  in  the  deserts,  and 
prayed.

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  *  as  they 
were  on  the  way  to  Jerusalem,  that 
he  was  passing  *  along  the  borders 
of  Samaria  and  Galilee.  12  And  as 
he  entered   into  a  certain  village,

there  met  him  ten  men  that  were 
lepers,  who  stood  afar  off :  13  and 
they  lifted  up  their  voices,  saying, 
Jesus,  Master,  have  mercy  on  us. 
14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said 
unto  them,  Go  and  show  yourselves 
unto  the  priests.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  they  went,  they  were 
cleansed.  15And  one  of  them, 
when  he  saw  that  he  was  healed, 
turned  back,  with  a  loud  voice  glo- 
rifying God  ;  I6  and  he  fell  upon  his 
face  at  his  feet,  giving  him  thanks : 
and  he  was  a  Samaritan.  17  And 
Jesus  answering  said,  Were  not  the 
ten  cleansed?  but  where  are  the 
nine  ?  lh  *  Were  there  none  found 
that  returned  to  give  glory  to  God, 
save  this  *  stranger?  19And  he 
said  unto  him,  Arise,  and  go  thy 
way:  thy  faith  hath  *made  thee 
whole. 


II :  1-12. 

1  And  when  he  entered  again 
into  Capernaum  after  some  days,  it 
was  noised  that  he  was  *  in  the 
house.  2  And  many  were  gathered 
together,  so  that  there  was  no 
longer  room /or  them,  no,  not  even 
about  the  door  :  and  he  spake  the 
word  unto  them. 

3  And  they  come,  bringing  unto 
him  a  man  sick  of  the  palsy,  borne 
of  four.  4And  when  they  could 
not  *come  nigh  unto  him  for  the 
crowd,  they  uncovered  the  roof 
where  he  was :  and  when  they  had 
broken  it  up,  they  let  down  the 
*  bed  whereon  the  sick  of  the  palsy 
lay. 

5  And  Jesus  seeing  their  faith  saith 

unto  the  sick  of  the   palsy,   *Son 

thy  sins  are  forgiven. 

GBut  there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and 
reasoning  in  their  hearts, 
7  Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak  ? 
he  blasphemeth  :  who  can  forgive 
sins  but  one,  even  God  ? 
8And  straightway  Jesus,  perceiving 
in  his  spirit  that  they  so  reasoned 
within  themselves,  saith  unto  them, 
Why  reason  ye  these  things  in  your 
hearts?  9 Which  is  easier,  to  say 
to  the  sick  of  the  palsy, 
Thy  sins  are  forgiven ;  or  to  say,

1  And  he  entered  into  a  boat, 
and  crossed  over,  and  came  into 
his  own  city. 


2  And  behold,  they  brought  to  him 
a  man  sick  of  the  palsy,  lying  on  a 
bed: 


and  Jesus  seeing  their  faith  said 
unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy,  *  Son, 
be  of  good  cheer  ; 

thy  sins  are  forgiven. 
3  And  behold,  certain  of  the 
scribes  said  within  themselves, 


This  man 


blasphemeth.

thoughts  said, 

Wherefore   think   ye   evil  in   your 
hearts  ?  5For  which  is  easier,  to  say,

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  one  of 
those  days,  that  he  was  teaching ; 
and  there  were  Pharisees  and 
doctors  of  the  law  sitting  by,  who 
were  come  out  of  every  village  of 
Galilee  and  Judaea  and  Jerusalem  : 
and  the  power  of  the  Lord  was 
with  him  *  to  heal. 
1S  And  behold,  men  bring  on  a 
bed  a  man  that  was  palsied :  and 
they  sought  to  bring  him  in,  and 
to  lay  him  before  him.  19  And 
not  finding  by  what  way  they 
might  bring  him  in  because  of  the 
multitude,  they  went  up  to  the 
house-top,  and  let  him  down 
through  the  tiles  with  his  couch 
into    the    midst    before    Jesus. 

20  And  seeing  their  faith,  he  said, 

Man, 

thy  sins  are  forgiven  thee. 

21  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
began  to  reason,  saying, 

Who  is  this  that  s  ρ  e  a  k  e  t  h 
blasphemies  ?  Who  can  forgive 
sins,  but  God  alone  ? 

22  But  Jesus  perceiving 
their  *  reasonings, 
answered  and  said  unto  them. 
*  Why     reason      ye  in     your 
hearts  ?    23  Which  is  easier,  to  say, 


Thy  sins  are  forgiven  ;  or  to   say,    Thy  sins  are  forgiven  the  ;  or  to  say,

arose,  and  straightway  took  up  the 
bed,  and  went  forth  before  them  all; 
insomuch  that  they  were  all  amazed, 
and  glorified 
God,  saying,  We  never  saw  it  on 
this  fashion.

13  And  he  went  forth  again  by  the 
seaside  ;  and  all  the  multitude  re- 
sorted unto  him, and  he  taught  them. 

14 And  as  he  passed  by,  he 
saw  Levi  the  son  of  Alphasus 
sitting  at  the  place  of  toll,  and  he 
saith  unto  him,  Follow  me.  And 
he  arose  and  fol- 
lowed him.  15  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  he  was  sitting  at  meat  in  his 
house,  and  many  *  publicans 

and  sinners  sat  down  with 
Jesus  and  his  disciples :  for  there 
were  many,  and  they  followed  him. 
16And  the  scribes  "of  the  Pharisees, 
when  they  saw  that  he  was  eating 
with  the  sinners  and  publicans, 
said  unto  his  disciples,  *  How  is  it 
that  he  eateth  "and  drinketh  with 
publicans  and  sinners  ?  17  And 
when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  saith  unto 
them,  They  that  are  *  whole  have 
no  need  of  a  physician,  but  they 
that  are  sick : 

I  came  not  to

come  and  say  unto  him,  Why  do 
John's  disciples  and  the  disciples  of 
the  Pharisees  fast,  but  thy  dis- 
ciples fast  not  ?  19And  Jesus  said 
unto  them,  Can  the  *sons  of 

the  bndechamber  fast,  while  the 
bridegroom  is  with  them  ?  as  long 
as  they  have  the  b  r  i  d  e  g  r  ο  o^m

20  But  the  days  will  come,  when

from  them,  and  then  will  they  fast 
in  that  day.

The  Call  of  Levi. 

IX:  9-13. 


OAnd  as  Jesus  passed  by  from  thence, 
he  saw  a  man,  called  Matthew, 
sitting  at  the  place  of  toll :  and  he 
saith  unto  him,  Follow  me.  And

saw  it,  they 

said  unto  his  disciples,  Why

when  he  heard  it,  he  said, 
They  that  are  fwhole  have

14  Then  come  to  him  the  disciples 
of   John,    saying, 

Why  do

the  Pharisees  fast  *oft,  but  thy  dis- 
ciples fast  not?  15  And  Jesus  said 
unto  them,  Can  the  "sons  of

as  the  bridegroom  is 
with  them? 

but  the  days  will  come,  when 
the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken  away 
from  them,  and  then  will  they  fast.

rose  up  before  them,  and  took  up  that 
whereon  he  lay,  and  departed 
to    his    house, 

glorifying 
God.  26  And  amazement  took  hold 
on  all,  and  they  glorified  God  ;  and 
they  were  filled  w'wh  fear,  saying,

2?  And 
after  these  things  he  went  forth, 
and  beheld  a  publican,  named  Levi, 
sitting  at  the  place  of  toll,  and 
said  unto  him,  Follow  me.  28And 
he  forsook  all,  and  rose  up  and  fol- 
lowed him.  29And  Levi  made  him  a 
great  feast  in  his  house  :  and  there 
was  a  great  multitude  of  publicans 
and  others  that  were  sitting  at  meat 
with  them. 

30  And  the  *  Pharisees 
and  their  scribes  murmured  against 

his  disciples,  saying,  Why 
do  ye  eat  and  drink  with  the 
"publicans  and  sinners?  31And 
Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them,  They  that  are  in  "health  have 
no  need  of  a  physician  ;  but  they 
that  are  sick.

thine  eat  and  drink.  ^And  Jesus  said

old,  and  a  worse  rent  is  made. 
22  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine 
into  old  *  wine-skins ;  else  the 
wine  will  burst  the  skins,  and  the 
wine  perisheth,  and  the  skins : 
but  they  put  new  wine  into  fresh

17  Neither  do  men  put  new  wine 
into  old  *  wine-skins :  else  the

putteth  it  upon  an  old  garment ; 
else  he  will  rend  the  new,  and 
also  the  piece  from  the  new  will 
not  agree  with  the  old.  37And 
no  man  putteth  new  wine  into  old

will  burst  the  skins,  and  itself  will 
be  spilled,  and  the  skins  will  per-

First  Speech  About  the  Sabbath. 


II:  23-28. 
23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he 
was  going  on  the  sabbath  day 
through  the  grainfields  ;  and  his 
disciples  *  began,  as  they  went,  to 
pluck  the  ears.  24  And  the  Phari- 
sees said  unto  them,  Behold,  why 
do  they  on  the  sabbath  day  that 
which  is  not  lawful?  MAnd  he 
said  unto  them,  *Did  ye  never 
read  what  David  did,  when  he 
had  need,  and  was  hungry,  he, 
and  they  that  were  with  him? 
26  How  he  entered  into  the  house 
of  God  *when  Abiathar  was  high 
priest,  and  ate  the  showbread, 
which  it  is  not  lawful  to  eat  save 
for  the  priests,  and  gave  also  to 
them  that  were  with  him  ? 


27  And  he  said  unto  them,  The 
sabbath  was  made  for  man,  and 
not  man  for  the  sabbath  :  2*  so  that 
the  Son  of  man  is  lord  even  of 
the  sabbath.  » 


XII:  1-8. 

*At  that  season  Jesus  went  on 
the  sabbath  day  through  the  grain- 
fields  ;  and  his  disciples  were  hun- 
gry and  began  to  pluck  ears  and  to 
eat.  2But  the  Pharisees,  when 
they  saw  it,  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold, thy  disciples  do  that  which 
it  is  not  lawful  to  do  upon  the 
sabbath.     3  But  he  said  unto  them, 

*  Have  ye  not  read  what  David 
did,  when  he  was  h  u  η  g  ry , 
and  they  that  were  with  him ; 
4  how  he  entered  into  the  house 
of  God, 

and  *  ate   the  showbread, 

which  itwas  not  lawful  for  him  to  eat, 

neither   for   them   that  were  with 

him,  but  only  for  the  priests  ? 

5  Or  have  ye  not  read  in  the  law, 

*  that  on  the  sabbath  day  the  priests 
in  the  temple  profane  the  sabbath, 
and  are  guiltless  ?  6  But  I  say 
unto  you,  that  *one  greater  than 
the  temple  is  here.  7  But  if  ye  had 
known  what  this  ineaneth,  *  I  desire 
mercy,  and  not  sacrifice,  ye  would 
not  have  condemned  the  guiltless. 


8  For  the  Son  of  man  is  lord  of 
the  sabbath. 


VI:  1-5. 

1  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a  *  sab- 
bath, that  he  was  going  through 
the  grainfields  ;  and  his  disciples 
plucked  the  ears,  and  did  eat, 
rubbing  them  in  their  hands.  2  But 
certain  of  the  Pharisees  said,  Why 
do  ye  that  which  it  is  not  lawful 
to  do  on  the  sabbath  day  ?  3  And 
Jesus  answering  them  said,  *  Have 
ye  not  read  even  this,  what  David 
did,  when  he  was  hungry,  he, 
and  they  that  were  with  him ; 
4  how  he  entered  into  the  house 
of  God, 

and  took  and  ate  the  showbread, 
and  gave  also  to  them  that  were 
with  him  ;  which  it  is  not  lawful 
to  eat  save  for  the  priests  alone?

lawful  on  the  sabbath  day  to  do 
good,  or  to  do  harm  ?  to  save  a 
life,  or  to  kill?  But  they  held  their 
peace.  6  And  when  he  had  looked 
round  about  on  them  with  anger, 
being  grieved  at  the  hardening  of 
their  heart,  he  saith  unto  the  man, 
Stretch  forth  thy  hand.  And  he 
stretched  it  forth  ;  and  his  hand 
was  restored.  6  And  the  Phari-

Wherefore  it  is  lawful  to  do  good

stretched  it  forth ;  and  it  was  re- 
stored whole,  as  the  other.  u  But

The  Cure  of  the  Infirm 
Woman. 
XIII:  10-17. 
10  And  he  was  teaching  in  one 
of  the  synagogues  on  the  sabbath 
day.  n  And  behold,  a  woman 
that  had  a  spirit  of  infirmity  eight- 
een years ;  and  she  was  bowed 
together,  and  could  in  no  wise  lift 
herself  up.  12And  when  Jesus 
saw  her,  he  called  her,  and  said 
to  her,  Woman,  thou  art  loosed 
from  thine  infirmity.  uAnd  he 
laid  his  hands  upon  her :  and  im- 
mediately she  was  made  straight, 
and  glorified  God.  14And  the 
ruler  of  the  synagogue,  being 
moved  with  indignation  because 
Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath, 
answered  and  said  to  the  multi- 
tude, There  are  six  days  in  which 
men  ought  to  work :  in  them 
therefore  come  and  be  healed, 
and  not  on  the  day  of  the 
sabbath.  15  But  the  Lord  an- 
swered him,  and  said,  Ye  hypo- 
crites, doth  not  each  one  of  you 
on  the  sabbath  loose  his  ox  or  his 
ass  from  the  *  stall,  and  lead  him 
away  to  watering?  16And  ought 
not  this  woman,  being  a  daughter

of  Abraham,  whom  Satan  had 
bound,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  to 
have  been  loosed  from  this  bond 
on  the  day  of  the  sabbath  ?  17And 
as  he  said  these  things,  all  his  adver- 
saries were  put  to  shame  :  and  all 
the  multitude  rejoiced  for  all  the  glo- 
rious things  that  were  done  by  him. 

The  Healing  of  a  Case  of 
Dropsy. 

XIV:  1-6. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
went  into  the  house  of  one  of  the 
rulers  of  the  Pharisees  on  a  sab- 
bath to  eat  bread,  that  they  were 
watching  him.  2And  behold, 
there  was  before  him  a  certain 
man  that  had  the  dropsy.  3  And 
Jesus  answering  spake  unto  the 
lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying,  Is 
it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath, 
or  not?  4But  they  held  their 
peace.  And  he  took  him,  and  healed 
him,  and  let  him  go.  5And  he 
said  unto  them,  Which  of  you 
shall  have  *an  ass  or  an  ox  fallen 
into  a  well,  and  will  not  straight- 
way draw  up  him  on  a  sabbath 
day?  6And  they  could  not  an- 
swer again  unto  these  things. 


Healing  and  Being  Thronged. 


Ill:  7-12. 

7  And  Jesus  with  his  disciples 
withdrew  to  the  sea :  and  a  great 
multitude  from  Galilee  followed ; 
and  from  Judeea,  8and  from  Jeru- 
salem, and  from  Idumaea,  and  be- 
yond the  Jordan,  and  about  Tyre 
and  Sidon,  a  great  multitude,  hear- 
ing *what  great  things  he  did, 
came  unto  him. .  9  And  he  spake 
to  his  disciples,  that  a  little  boat 
should  wait  on  him  because  of 
the  crowd,  lest  they  should  throng 
him  :  10  for  he  had  healed  many  ; 
insomuch  that  as  many  as  had 
"plagues  *  pressed  upon  him  that 
they  might  touch  him.  nAnd  the 
unclean  spirits,  whensoever  they 
beheld  him,  fell  down  before  him, 
and  cried,  saying,  Thou  art  the 
Son  of  God.  l2And  he  charged 
them  much  that  they  should  not 
make  him  known. 


XII:  15-21. 
15  And  Jesus  perceiving  it  with- 
drew from  thence  :  and  many  fol- 
lowed him  ; 


and  he  healed  them  all, 


16  and  charged 
them  that  they  should  not 
make  him  known  :  17  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
through  Isaiah  the  prophet,  saying, 
:':18  Behold,  my  servant  whom  I 
have  chosen ; 


VI  :  17-19. 
17  And  he  came  down  with  them, 
and  stood  on  a  level  place,  and  a 
great  multitude  of  his  disciples, 
and  a  great  number  of  the  people 
from  all  Judaea  and  Jerusalem, 
and  the  sea  coast  of  Tyre  and 
Sidon,  who  came  to  hear  him,  and 
to  be  healed  of  their  disease  ; 


1S  and  they  that  were  troubled 
with  unclean  spirits  were  healed. 
19  And  all  the  multitude  sought  to 
touch  him ;  for  power  came  forth 
from  him,  and  healed  them  all.

Ill:  13-19. 
13  And  he  goeth  up  into  the 
mountain,  and  calleth  unto  him 
whom  he  himself  would ;  and 
they  went  unto  him.  14And  he 
appointed  twelve,  *  that  they 
might  be  with  him,  and  that  he 
might  send  them  forth  to  preach, 
15  and  to  have  authority  to  cast  out 
demons  :  16  *  and  Simon  he  sur- 
named  Peter ;  17  and  James  the  son 
of  Zebedee,  and  John  the  brother 
of  James ;  and  them  he  surnamed 
Boanerges,  which  is,  Sons  of  thun- 
der ;  18  and  Andrew,  and  Philip, 
and  Bartholomew,  and  Matthew, 
and  Thomas,  and  James,  the  son  of 
Alphseus,  and  Thaddteus  and  Si- 
mon the  *  Canansean,  19and  Judas 
Iscariot,  who  also  *  betrayed  him. 


Matthew. 

My  beloved  in  whom  my  soul 

is  well  pleased  : 
I  will  put  my  Spirit  upon  him, 
And    he     shall    declare    Judg- 
ment to  the  *  Gentiles. 

19  He    shall    not    strive,    nor  cry 

aloud; 
Neither  shall  any  one  hear  his 
voice  in  the  streets. 

20  A  bruised   reed    shall    he  not 

break, 
And  smoking  flax  shall  he  not 

quench, 
Till    he    send   forth   judgment 

unto  victory. 

21  And  in  his  name  shall  the  Gen- 

tiles hope. 

The  Call  of  the  Twelve. 

X:  2-4. 


Luke. 


2  Now  the  names  of  the  twelve 
apostles  are  these :  The  first,  Si- 
mon, who  is  called  Peter,  and 
Andrew  his  brother;  "James  the 
son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  his 
brother ;  3  Philip,  and  Bartholo- 
mew ;  Thomas,  and  Matthew  the 
publican  ;  James  the  son  of  Al- 
phasus,  and  Thaddseus  ;  4  Simon 
the  ::  Canansean,  and  Judas  Iscariot, 
who  also  *  betrayed  him. 


VI:  12-16. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass  in  these 
days,  that  he  went  out  into  the 
mountain  to  pray;  and  he  con- 
tinued all  night  in  prayer  to  God. 

13  And  when  it  was  day,  he  called 
his  disciples ;  and  he  chose  from 
them  twelve,  whom  also  he  named 
apostles : 

14  Simon,  whom  he  also  named 
Peter,  and  Andrew  his  brother, 
and  James  and  John,  and  Philip 
and  Bartholomew,  15and  Matthew 
and  Thomas,  and  James  the  son 
of  Alphceus,  and  Simon  who  was 
called  the  Zealot,  16and  Judas  the 
*  son  of  James,  and  Judas  Iscariot, 
who  became  a  traitor. 


The  Sermon  on  the  Mount. 

Introduction. 


V:  1,  2. 

1  And  seeing  the  multitudes,  he 
went  up  into  the  mountain  :  and 
when  he  had  sat  down,  his  dis- 
ciples came  unto  him:  2and  he 
opened  his  mouth  and  taught 
them,  saying, 

The  Beatitudes. 

V:  3-12. 

3  Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit : 
for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

4  *  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn  : 
for  they  shall  be  comforted. 

fi  Blessed  are  the  meek :  for 
they  shall  inherit  the  earth. 


VI:  20. 

20  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  on 
his  disciples,  and  said. 


VI:  20-26. 

20  Blessed  are  ye  poor  : 
for    yours   is    the    kingdom    of 
God. 

21  Blessed  are  ye  that  weep  now  : 
for  ye  shall  laugh. 


Mark. 


Matthew. 

6  Blessed  are  they  that  hunger 
and  thirst  after  righteousenss  :  for 
they  shall  be  rilled. 

7  Blessed  are  the  merciful :  for 
they  shall  obtain  mercy. 

s  Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart : 
for  they  shall  see  God. 

9  Blessed  are  the  peacemakers  : 
for  they  shall  be  called  sons  of  God. 

10  Blessed  are  they  that  have 
been  persecuted  for  righteousness' 
sake  :  for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  n  Blessed  are  ye  when 
men  shall  reproach  you,  and  per- 
secute you,  and  say  all  manner  of 
evil  against  you  falsely,  for  my 
sake.     ^Rejoice,  and   be  exceed- 


Luke. 


43 


ing  glad  :  for  great  is  your  reward 
in  heaven  :  for  so  persecuted  they 
the  prophets  that  were  before  you. 


Blessed   are    ye   that   hunger 


ye  shall  be  filled. 


for 


22  Blessed  are  ye,  when  men 
shall  hate  you,  and  when  they 
shall  separate  you  from  their  com- 
pany, and  reproach  you,  and 
cast  out  your  name  as  evil,  for  the 


Son  of  man's  sake.  ^  Rejoice  in 
that  day,  and  leap  for  joy  .•  for 
behold,  your  reward  is  great  in 
heaven  ;  for  in  the  same  manner 
did  their  fathers  unto  the  prophets. 
24  But  woe  unto  you  that  are  rich  ! 
for  ye  have  received  your  consola- 
tion. 25  Woe  unto  you,  ye  that 
are  full  now  !  for  ye  shall  hunger. 
Woe  unto  you,  ye  that  laugh  now  ! 
for  ye  shall  mourn  and  weep. 
26  Woe  unto  you,  when  all  men 
shall  speak  well  of  you !  for  in 
the  same  manner  did  their  fathers 
to  the  false  prophets. 

Two  Introductory  Comparisons. 


V  :  13-16. 
13  Ye  are  the  salt  of  the  earth  : 
but  if  the  salt  have  lost  its  savor, 
wherewith  shall  it  be  salted?  it  is 
thenceforth  good  for  nothing,  but 
to  be  cast  out  and  trodden  under 
foot  of  men.  14Ye  are  the  light 
of  the  world.  A  city  set  on  a  hill 
cannot  be  hid.  15  Neither  do  men 
light  a  lamp,  and  put  it  under  the 
bushel,  but  on  the  stand  ;  and  it 
shineth  unto  all  that  are  in  the 
house.  j6  Even  so  let  your  light 
shine  before  men  ;  that  they  may 
see  your  good  works,  and  glorify 
your  Father  who  is  in  heaven. 


XI:  33;  XIV:  34,  35. 

34  Salt  therefore  is  good ;  but  if 
even  the  salt  have  lost  its  savor, 
wherewith  shall  it  be  seasoned  ? 
36  It  is  fit  neither  for  the  land  nor 
for  the  dunghill  :  men  cast  it  out. 
lie  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
hear. 

33  No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted 
a  lamp,  putteth  it  in  a  cellar, 
neither  under  the  bushel,  but  on 
the  stand,  that  they  which  enter 
in  may  see  the  light. 


Jesus'  Attitude  Toward  the  Law. 


V:  17-20. 
17  Think  not  that  I  came  to  de- 
stroy the  law  or  the  prophets :  I 
came  not  to  destroy,  but  to  ful- 
fil. 18  For  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Till  heaven  and  earth  pass  away, 
one  jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no 
wise  pass  away  from  the  law,  till 
all  things  be  accomplished.  19Who- 


XVI:  17. 


17  But  it  is  easier  for  heaven 
and  earth  to  pass  away,  than  for 
one  tittle  of  the  law  to  fall. 


44 


Mark, 


Matthew.  Luke. 


soever  therefore  shall  break  one  of 
these  least  commandments,  and 
shall  teach  men  so,  shall  be  called 
least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  : 
but  whosoever  shall  do  and  teach 
them,  he  shall  be  called  great  in 
the  kingdom  of  heaven.  20  For  I 
say  unto  you,  that  except  your 
righteousness  shall  exceed  the 
righteousness  of  the  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

First  Example:  Murder 

and  the  Spirit  of 

Murder. 

V:  21,  22. 

21  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said 
to  them  of  old  time,  *Thou  shalt 
not  kill  ;  and  whosoever  shall  kill 
shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judg- 
ment:  22but  I  say  unto  you,  that 
every  one  who  is  angry  with  his 
brother  *  shall  be  in  danger  of  the 
judgment ;  and  whosoever  shall 
say  to  his  brother,  *  Raca,  shall  be 
in  danger  of  the  council ;  and  who- 
soever shall  say,  *Thou  fool,  shall 
be  in  danger  :':of  the  ::;hell  of  fire.. 

First  Supplement? 
On  Anger. 

V:  23,  24. 

23  If  therefore  thou  art  offering 
thy  gift  at  the  altar,  and  there  re- 
memberest  that  thy  brother  hath 
aught  against  thee,  24  leave  there 
thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go 
thy  way,  first  be  reconciled  to  thy 
brother,  and  then  come  and  offer 
thy  gift. 


Second  Supplement:  On  Reconciliation. 


V:  25,  26. 


25  Agree  with  thine  adversary 
quickly,  while  thou  art  with  him 
in  the  way ;  lest  haply  the  adver- 
sary deliver  thee  to  the  judge,  and 
the  judge  -deliver  thee  to  the 
officer,  and  thou  be  cast  into 
prison.  α  Verily  I  say  unto  thee, 
Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come  out 
thence,  till  thou  have  paid  the  last 
farthing. 


XII:  57-59. 
57  And  why  even  of  yourselves 
judge  ye  not  what  is  right  ?  ^  For 
as  thou  art  going  with  thine  adver- 
sary before  the  magistrate,  on  the 
way  give  diligence  to  be  quit  of 
him  ;  lest  haply  he  drag  thee  unto 
the  judge,  and  the  judge  shall 
deliver  thee  to  the  "officer,  and 
the  officer  shall  cast  thee  into 
prison.  59I  say  unto  thee,  Thou 
shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence, 
till  thou  have  paid  the  very  last 
mite. 


Mark. 


Matthew.  Luke. 

Second  Example : 
Concerning  Adultery. 

V:  27,  28. 
27  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was 
said,  *Thou  shalt  not  commit 
adultery  :  2S  but  I  say  unto  you, 
that  every  one  that  looketh  on  a 
woman  to  lust  after  her  hath  com- 
mitted adultery  with  her  already 
in  his  heart. 

Supplement : 
On  Sinful  Thoughts. 

V:  29,  30. 

29  And  if  thy  right  eye  causeth 
thee  to  stumble,  pluck  it  out  and 
cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profit- 
able for  thee  that  one  of  thy  mem- 
bers should  perish,  and  not  thy 
whole  body  be  cast  into  hell. 
30  And  if  thy  right  hand  causeth 
thee  to  stumble,  cut  it  off,  and 
cast  it  from  thee  :  for  it  is  profit- 
able for  thee  that  one  of  thy  mem- 
bers should  perish,  and  not  thy 
whole  body  go  into  hell. 

Third  Example :  Concerning  Divorce. 

V:  31,  32.  XVI:  18. 

33  It  was  said  also,  *  Whosoever 
shall  put  away  his  wife,  let  him 
give  her  a  writing  of  divorcement : 
32  but  I  say  unto  you,  that  every 
one  that  putteth  away  his  wife, 
saving  for  the  cause  of  fornication, 
maketh  her  an  adulteress :  and 
whosoever  shall  marry  her  when 
she  is  put  away  committeth  adul- 
tery. 

Fourth  Example: 
Concerning  Oaths. 

V:  33-37. 
33  Again,  ye  have  heard  that  it 
was  said  to  them  of  eld  time, 
*  Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thyself, 
but  shalt  perform  unto  the  Lord 
thine  oaths  :  u  but  I  say  unto  you, 
Swear  not  at  all  ;  neither  by  the 
heaven,  for  it  is  the  throne  of 
God ;  s5  nor  by  the  earth,  for  it  is 
the  footstool  of  his  feet ;  nor  *  by 
Jerusalem,  for  it  is  the  city  of  the 
great  king.  36  Neither  shalt  thou 
swear  by  thy  head,  for  thou  canst 
not  make  one  hair  white  or  black. 
37  *  But  let  your  speech  be,  Yea, 
yea ;  Nay,  nay  :  and  whatsoever  is 
more  than  these  is  of  "the  evil  one. 


45 


18  Every  one  that  putteth  away 
his   wife,    and    marrieth    another, 

committeth  adultery  :  and  he  that 
marrieth  one  that  is  put  away 
from  a  husband  committeth  adul- 
tery. 


46 


Mark. 


Matthew. 


Luke. 


Fifth  Example  :  Concerning  Vengeance. 
V:  38-42.  VI:  29,  30. 

38  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was 
said,  An  eye  for  an  eye,  and  a 
tooth  for  a  tooth  :  39but  I  say  unto 
you,  '''Resist  not  "him  that  is  evil: 
but  whosoever  smiteth  thee  on  thy 
right  cheek,  turn  to  him  the  other 
also.  40  And  if  any  man  would  go  to 
law  with  thee,  and  take  away  thy 
coat,  let  him  have  thy  cloak  also. 
41  And  whosoever  shall  *  compel 
thee  to  go  one  mile,  go  with  him 
two.  42  Give  to  him  that  asketh 
thee,  and  from  him  that  would 
borrow  of  thee  turn  not  thou  away. 

Sixth  Example:  Concerning  Loving  One's  Enemies. 


29  To  him  that  smiteth  thee  on 
the  one  cheek  offer  also  the  other  j 
and   from    him    that    taketh   away 

thy  cloak   withhold    not    thy   coat 
also. 

30  Give  to  every  one  that  asketh 
thee ;  and  of  him  that  taketh 
away  thy  goods  ask  them  not 
again. 


V:  43-48. 

43  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was 
said,  *Thou  shalt  love  thy  neigh- 
bor, and  hate  thine  enemy:  44but 
I  say  unto  you,  Love  your  ene- 
mies, and 

pray  for  them  that  persecute  you; 
45  that  ye  may  be  sons  of  your 
Father  who  is  in  heaven  :  for  he 
maketh  his  sun  to  rise  on  the  evil 
and  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain 
on  the  just  and  the  unjust.  46For 
if  ye  love  them  that  love  you, 
what  reward  have  ye?  do  not 
even  the  ^publicans  the  same  ? 
47  And  if  ye  salute  your  brethren 
only,  what  do  ye  more  than 
others?  do  not  even  the  Gentiles 
the  same? 


48  Ye  therefore  shall  be  perfect, 
as  your  heavenly  Father  is  per- 
fect. 

Concerning  Alms. 

VI:  1-4. 

1  Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your 
righteousness  before  men,  to  be 
seen  of  them :  else  ye  have  no 
reward  with  your  Father  who  is 
in  heaven. 

2  When  therefore  thou  doest 
alms,  sound  not  a  trumpet  before 


VI :  27,  28,  32-36. 


27  But  I  say  unto  you  that  hear, 
Love  your  enemies,  do  good  to 
them  that  hate  you,  28  bless  them 
that  curse  you,  pray  for  them  that 
despitefully  use  you. 


82  And  if  ye  love  them  that  love 
you,  what  thank  have  ye?  for 
even  sinners  love  those  that  love 
them.  ^And  if  ye  do  good  to 
them  that  do  good  to  you,  what 
thank  have  ye?  for  even  sinners 
do  the  same.  S4  And  if  ye  lend 
to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to 
receive,  what  thank  have  ye  ? 
even  sinners  lend  to  sinners,  to 
receive  again  as  much.  ®  But 
love  your  enemies,  and  do  them 
good,  and  lend,  "never  despairing  ; 
and  your  reward  shall  be  great, 
and  ye  shall  be  sons  of  the  Most 
High  :  for  he  is  kind  toward  the 
unthankful  and  evil.  36  Be  ye 
merciful,  even  as  your  Father  is 
merciful. 


Mark. 


Matthew.  Luke.  4// 

thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the 
synagogues  and  in  the  streets,  that 
they  may  have  glory  of  nen. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have 
received  their  reward.  3But  when 
thou  doest  alms,  let  not  thy  left 
hand  know  what  thy  right  hand 
doeth  :  4  that  thine  alms  may  be 
in  secret :  and  thy  Father  who 
seeth  in  secret  shall  recompense 
thee. 

Concerning  Prayer. 

VI:  5-8. 

5  And  when  ye  pray,  ye  shall 
not  be  as  the  hypocrites  :  for  they 
love  to  stand  and  pray  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the 
streets,  that  they  may  be  seen  of 
men.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They 
have  received  their  reward.  6  But 
thou,  when  thou  prayest,  enter  into 
thine  inner  chamber,  and  having 
shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father 
who  is  in  secret,  and  thy  Father 
who  seeth  in  secret  shall  recom- 
pense thee.  7  And  in  praying  use 
not  vain  repetitions,  as  the  Gen- 
tiles do  :  for  they  think  that  they 
shall  be  heard  for  their  much 
speaking.  8  Be  not  therefore  like

The  Lord's  Prayer. 

VI:  9-15.  XI:    1-4. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
praying  in  a  certain  place,  that 
when  he  ceased,  one  of  his  disciples 
said  unto  him,  Lord,  teach  us  to 
pray,  even  as  John  also  taught  his 
disciples.  2  And  he  said  unto  them, 
When  ye  pray,  say,   *'  F  a  t  h  e  r  , 


9  After  this  m  a  η  η  e  r  therefore 
pray  ye  :  Our  Father  who  art  in 
heaven, 

Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be 
done,   as   in    heaven,  so  on  earth. 

11  Give  us  this  day  *our  daily 
bread.  12  And  forgive  us  our  debts, 
as  we  also  have  forgiven 

our  debtors.  13And 
bring  us  not  into  temptation,  but 
deliver  us  from  "the  evil  oner' 
Η  For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  tres- 
passes, your  heavenly  Father  will 
also  forgive  you.  is  But  if  ye  for- 
give not  men'  their  trespasses, 
neither  will  your  Father  forgive 
your  trespasses. 


Hallowed  be  thy  name. 
Thy  kingdom  come." 

3 Give  us  day  by  day  "our  daily 
bread.  4  And  forgive  us  our  sins  ; 
for  we  ourselves  also  forgive  every 
one  that  is  indebted  to  us.  And 
bring  us  not  into  temptation."

Concerning  Fasts. 

VI.   16-18. 

16  Moreover  when  ye  fast,  be 
not  as  the  hypocrites,  of  a  sad 
countenance :  for  they  disfigure 
their  faces,  that  they  may  be  seen 
of  men  to  fast.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  They  have  received  their 
reward.  17  But  thou,  when  thou 
fastest,  anoint  thy  head,  and  wash 
thy  face ;  18  that  thou  be  not  seen 
of  men  to  fast,  but  of  thy  Father 
who  is  in  secret :  and  thy  Father, 
who  seeth  in  secret,  shall  recom- 
pense thee. 

Treasures  on  Earth  and  in  Heaven. 


VI:  19-21. 
19  Lay  not  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  upon  the  earth,  where 
moth  and  rust  consume,  and  where 
thieves  *  break  through  and  steal: 
20  but  lay  up  for  yourselves  treas- 
ures in  heaven,  where  neither 
moth  nor  rust  doth  consume,  and 
where  thieves  do  not  break 
through  nor  steal :  21  for  where  thy 
treasure  is,  there  will  thy  heart 
be   also. 


XII  :  33,  34. 

33  Sell   that  which  ye  have,  and 
give  alms ; 


make  for  yourselves  purses  which 
wax  not  old,  a  treasure  i  η  t  h  e 
heavens  that  faileth  not,  where  no 
thief  draweth  near,  neither  moth 
destroyeth.  34  For  where  your 
treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart 
be  also. 


The  Inner  Light. 


VI:  22,  23. 

22  The  lamp  of  the  body  is  the 
eye :  if  therefore  thine  eye  be 
single,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full 
of  light.  23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil, 
thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of 
darkness.  If  therefore 
the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  dark- 
ness, how  great  is  the  darkness  ! 


XI:  34-36. 

34  The  lamp  of  thy  body  is  thine 
eye :  when  thine  eye  is 
single,  thy  whole  body  also  is  full 
of  light ;  but  when  it  is  evil, 
thy  body    also    is    full    of 

darkness.  ^  Look  therefore  whether 
the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  not  dark- 
ness. &  If  therefore  thy  whole  body 
be  full  of  light,  having  no  part  dark, 
it  shall  be  wholly  full  of  light,  as 
when  the  lamp  with  its  bright  shin- 
ing doth  give  thee  light. 


Concerning  Divided  Service. 


VI:  24. 

24  No  man  can  serve  two 
masters  :  for  either  he  will  hate  the 
one,  and  love  the  other ;  or  else  he 
will  hold  to  one,  and  despise  the 
other.  Ye  can  not  serve  God  and 
mammon. 


XVI:  13. 
13  No  *  servant  can  serve  two

The  Quarrel  over  an 

Estate.

brother  divide  the  inheritance  with 
me.  14But  he  said  unto  him, 
Man,  who  made  me  a  judge  or  a 
divider  over  you  ?  ls  And  he  said 
unto  them,  Take  heed,  and  keep 
yourselves  from  all  cctvetousness : 
"for  a  man's  life  consisteth  not  in 
the  abundance  of  the  things  which 
he  possesseth.  16And  he  spake  a 
parable  unto  them,  saying,  The 
ground  of  a  certain  rich  man 
brought  forth  plentifully :  17  and 
he  reasoned  within  himself,  say- 
ing, What  shall  I  do,  because  I 
have  not  where  to  bestow  my 
fruits  ?  18  And  he  said,  This  will 
I  do  :  I  will  pull  down  my  barns, 
and  build  greater  :  and  there  will 
I  bestow  all  my  grain  and  my 
goods.  19  And  I  will  say  to  my 
soul,  Soul,  thou  hast  much 
goods  laid  up  for  many  years; 
take  thine  ease,  eat,  drink,  be 
merry.  20  But  God  said  unto  him, 
Thou  foolish  one,  this  night  *  is  thy 
soul  required  of  thee ;  and  the 
things  which  thou  hast  prepared, 
whose  shall  they  be  ?  21  So  is  he 
that  layeth  up  treasure  for  himself, 
and  is  not  rich  toward  God. 

Against  Sordid  Anxiety. 

25-34.  xii:  22-31. 

22And  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 
Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Be 
not  anxious  for  your  *Ufe,  what  ye 
shall  eat ; 

nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall 
put  on .  23  For  the  life  is  more  than 
the  food,  and  the  body  than  the 
raiment.  24  Consider  the  ravens, 
that  they  sow  not,  neither 
reap  ;  which  have  no  store- 
chamber  nor  barn  ;  and 

God  feedeth  them  :  of  how  much 
more  value  are  ye  than  the  birds ! 
25  And  which  of  you  by  being 
anxious  can  add  a  cubit  unto  *  the 
measure  of  his  life?  2* If  then  ye 
are  not  able  to  do  even  that  which  is 
least,  why  are  ye  anxious  concern- 
ing the  rest?  27 Consider  the  lilies, 
how  they  grow  :  they 
toil  not,  neither  do  they  spin  ;  yet 
I  say  unto  you,  Even  Solomon 

in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like 
one  of  these.  28  But  if  God  doth 
so  clothe  the  grass  in  the  field, 
which  to-day  is,  and  to-morrow  is 
cast  into  the  oven  ;  how  much  more

2s  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Be 
not  anxious  for  your  life,  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink  ; 
nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall 
put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more  than 
the  food,  and  the  body  than  the 
raiment?  2ϋ  Behold  the  birds  of 
heaven,  that  they  sow  not,  neither 
do  they  reap,  nor  gather  into 
barns ;  and  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  them.  Are  not  ye 
of  much  more  value  than  they? 
27  And  which  of  you  by  being 
anxious  can  add  one  cubit  unto  "the

things  do  the  Gentiles  seek ;  for 
your  heavenly  Father  knoweth  that

33  But  seek  ye  first  his  kingdom,  and 
his  righteousness ;  and  all  these 
things  shall  be   added  unto  you.

30  For  all  these  things

ye  have  need  of  these  things.

Against  Unwarranted  Judgment. 


VII:  1-5. 
1  Judge    not,    that    ye    be    not 
judged.      2For   with    what   judg- 
ment ye  judge,  ye  shall  be  judged  : 


and  with  what  measure    ye  mete, 
it  shall  be  measured  unto  you. 


8  And  why  behold- 
est  thou  the  mote  that  is  in  thy 
brother's  eye,  but  considerest  not 
the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own 
eye?  4Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to 
thy  brother,  Let  me  cast 
out  the  mote  out  of  thine  eye ; 
and  lo, 

the  beam  is  in  thine  own 
eye?  5Thou  hypocrite,  cast  out 
first  the  beam  out  of  thine  own 
eye ;  and  then  shalt  thou  see 
clearly  lo  cast  out  the  mote  out 
of  thy  brother's  eye.

Parable  of  the  Importunate 
Friend. 
XI:  5-8. 
β  And  he  said  unto  them,  Which 
of  you  shall  have  a  friend,  and 
shall  go  unto  him  at  midnight, 
and  say  to  him,  Friend,  lend  me 
three  loaves  ;  6  for  a  friend  of  mine 
is  come  to  me  from  a  journey, 
and  I  have  nothing  to  set  before 
him ;  7  and  he  from  within  shall 
answer  and  say,  Trouble  me  not : 
the  door  is  now  shut,  and  my  chil- 
dren are  with  me  in  bed ;  I  cannot 
rise  and  give  thee  ?  8 1  say  unto 
you,  Though  he  will  not  rise  and 
give  him  because  he  is  his  friend, 
yet  because  of  his  importunity  he 
will  arise  and  give  him  *as  many 
as  he  needeth. 

Encouragement  of  Entreaty  in  Prayer.

8  And  I  say  unto  you, 
Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you  ; 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find  ;  knock, 
and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you. 
10  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiv- 
eth  ;  and  he  that  seeketh  findeth  ; 
and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall 
be  opened.  n  And  of  which  of  you 
that  is  a  father  shall  his  son  ask 
*a  loaf,  and  he  give  him  a 
stone?  or  a  fish,  and  he  for  a 
fish  give  him  a  serpent  ?  K  Or  if  he 
shall  ask  an  egg,  will  he  give  him  a 
scorpion?  13If  ye  then,  being  evil, 
know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto 
your  children,  how  much  more  shall 
your  heavenly  Father  give  the 
Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him? 


1  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you  ; 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find  ;  knock,

8  for  every  one  that  asketh  receiv-

and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall 
be  opened.  9  Or  what  man  is  there 
of  you,  who,  if  his  son  shall  ask 
him  for  a  loaf,  will  give  him  a 
stone  ;  10  or  if  he  shall  ask  for  a 
fish,  will  give  him  a  serpent  ? 

11  If  ye  then,  being  evil, 
know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto 
your  children,  how  much  more  shall 
your  Father  who  is  in  heaven  give 
good  things  to  them  that  ask  him  ? 


The  Golden  Rule." 

VI:  31. 
31  And  as    ye   would    that   men 
should  do  to  you,   do  ye   also  to 
them  likewise. 


VII:  12. 

12  All  things  therefore  -whatso- 
ever ye  would  that  men  should  do 
unto  you,  even  so  do  ye  also  unto 
them :  for  this  is  the  law  and  the 
prophets. 

The  Strait  Gate.

False  Prophets.

The  Test  of  Piety 

VII:  16-20,  XII:  33-35. 

16  By  their  fruits  ye  shall  know 
them.  Do  men  gather  grapes  of 
thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles  ?  17  Even 
so  every  good  tree  bringeth  forth 
good  fruit ;  but  the  corrupt  tree 
bringeth  forth  evil  fruit.  18A 
good  tree  can  not  bring  forth  evil 
fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt  tree 
bring  forth  good  fruit.  19  Every 
tree  that  bringeth  not  forth  good 
fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into 
the  fire.  20  Therefore  by  their 
fruits  ye  shall  know  them. 

^Either  make  the  tree  good, 
and  its  fruit  good ;  or  make  the 
tree  corrupt,  and  its  fruit  corrupt : 
for  the  tree  is  known  by  its  fruit. 
34  Ye  offspring  of  vipers,  how  can 
ye,  being  evil,  speak  good  things? 
for  out  of  the  abundance  of  the 
heart  the  mouth  speaketh.  ^  The  45  The  good  man  out  of  the 
good  man  out  of  his  good  treasure  good  treasu  e  of  his  heart  bring- 
bringeth  forth  good  things :  and  eth  forth  that  which  is  good ;  and 
the  evil  man  out  of  his  evil  treas-  the  evil  man  out  of  the  evil  treas- 
ure  bringeth  forth  evil  things.  ure  bringeth  forth    that  which  is 

evil  :  for  out  of  the  abundance  of 
the  heart  his  mouth  speaketh. 

Warning  Against  Self -Deception. 


VI:  43-45. 


43  For  there  is  no  good  tree  that 
bringeth  forth  corrupt  fruit ;  nor 
again  a  corrupt  tree  that  bringeth 
forth  good  fruit.  44  For  each  tree 
is  known  by  its  own  fruit.  For 
of  thorns  men  do  not  gather  figs, 
nor  of  a  bramble  bush  gather  they 
grapes. 


VII:  21,  23. 

21  Not  every  one  that  saith  unto 
me,  Lord,  Lord,  shall  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  heaven;  but  he 
that  doeth  the  will  of  my  Father 
who  is  in  heaven.  22  Many  will  say 
to  me  in  that  day,  Lord,  Lord, 
did  we  not  prophesy  by  thy  name, 
and  by  thy  name  cast  out  demons, 
and  by  thy  name  do  many  *  mighty 
works  ?  23  And  then  will  I  pro- 
fess unto  them,  I  never  knew  you  : 
depart  from  me,  ye  that  work  in- 
iquity. 


VI :  46  ;   XIII :  26,  27. 
46  And  why  call  ye  me,  Lord, 
Lord,  and  do  not  the  things  which 
I  say? 


26  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  say, 
We  did  eat  and  drink  in  thy  pres- 
ence, and  thou  didst  teach  in  our 
streets ;  2r  and  he  shall  say,  I 
tell  you,  I  know  not  whence  ye 
are ;  depart  from  me,  all  ye  work- 
ers of  iniquity.

which  the  stream  brake,  and 
straightway  it  fell  in ;  and  the 
ruin  of  that  house  was  great. 


The  Centurion. 


VIII:  5-13. 


fi  And  when  he  was  entered  into 
Capernaum,  there  came  unto  him 
a  centurion,  beseeching  him,  6and 
saying,  Lord,  my  *  servant  lieth  in 
the  house  sick  of  the  palsy,  griev 
ously  tormented.  7And  he  saith 
unto  him,  I  will  come  and  heal 
him. 


8  And  the  centurion  answered 
and  said,  Lord, 

I  am  not  "worthy  that 
thou  shouldest  come  under  my 
roof; 

but  only  say  "the  word,  and  my 
servant  shall  be  healed.  9  For  I 
also  am  a  man  *  under  author- 
ity, having  under  myself  soldiers  : 
and  I  say  to  this  one,  Go,  and  he 
goeth  ;  and  to  another,  Come,  and 
he  cometh ;  and  to  my  *  servant, 
Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it.     10  And 


VII :  1-10  ;  XIII :  28-30. 

7  l  After  he  had  ended  all  his 
sayings  in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
he  entered  into  Capernaum. 

2  And  a  certain  centurion's  *  serv- 
ant, who  was  :;:dear  unto  him, 
was  sick  and  at  the  point  of  death. 
3  And  when  he  heard  concerning 
Jesus,  he  sent  unto  him  elders  of 
the  Jews,  asking  him  that  he  would 
come  and  save  his  servant.  4And 
they,  when  they  came  to  Jesus, 
besought  him  earnestly,  saying, 
He  is  worthy  that  thou  shouldest 
do  this  for  him ;  δ  for  he  loveth 
our  nation,  and  himself  built  us 
our  synagogue.  6  And  Jesus  went 
with  them.  And  when  he  was  now 
not  far  from  the  house,  the  cen- 
turion sent  friends  to  him,  saying 
unto  him,  Lord,  trouble  not  thy- 
self; fori  am  not  *  worthy  that 
thou  shouldest  come  under  my 
roof:  7  wherefore  neither  thought 
I  myself  worthy  to  come  unto 
thee  :  but  say  *the  word,  and  my 
*  servant  shall  be  healed.  8For  I 
also  am  a  man  set  under  author- 
ity, having  under  myself  soldiers  : 
and  I  say  to  this  one,  Go,  and  lie 
goeth  ;  and  to  another,  Come,  and 
he  cometh  ;  and  to  my  *  servant, 
Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it.     9  And

when  Jesus  heard  it,  he 

marvelled, 

and  said  to  them  that  fol- 
lowed, Verily  I  say  unto  you,  *  I 
have  not  found  so  great  faith,  no 
not  in  Israel. 

11  And  I  say  unto 
you,  that  many  shall  come  from 
the  east  and  the  west,  and  shall 
*  sit  down  with  Abraham,  and 
Isaac,  and  Jacob,  in  the  kingdom 
of  heaven :  u  but  the  sons  of 
the  kingdom  shall  be  cast  forth  into 
the  outer  darkness  :  there  shall  be 
the  weeping  and  gnashing  of 
teeth.  13  And  Jesus  said  unto  the 
centurion,  Go  thy  way  ;  as  thou 
hast  believed,  so  be  it  done  unto 
thee. 

And  the  servant  was  healed 
in  that  hour. 


Luke. 

when  Jesus  heard  these  things,  he 
marvelled  at  him,  and  turned  and 
said  unto  the  multitude  that  fol- 
lowed him,  I  say  unto  you,  I 
have  not  found  so  great  faith,  no, 
not  in  Israel. 

13  !» There  shall 
be  the  weeping  and  the  gnashing 
of  teeth,  when  ye  shall  see  Abra- 
ham, and  Isaac,  and  Jacob,  and 
all  the  prophets,  in  the  kingdom 
of  God,  and  yourselves  cast  forth 
without.  29And  they  shall  come 
from  the  east  and  west,  and  from 
the  north  and  south,  and  shall  *sit 
down  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 
30  And  behold,  there  are  last  who 
shall  be  first,  and  there  are  first 
who  shall  be  last. 

7  10And  they 
that  were  sent,  returning  to  the 
house,  found  the  servant  whole. 


John  the  Baptist's  Inquiry. 


XI:  2-6. 
2  Now  when  John  heard  in  the 
prison  the  works  of  the  Christ,  he 

sent  by  his  disciples  3  and  said  unto 
him,  Art  thou  he  that  cometh, 
or  look  we  for  another  ? 


4  And  Jesus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Go  and  tell  John 
the  things  which  ye  hear  and  see  : 
6  the  blind  receive  their 
sight,  and  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers 
are  cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear, 
and  the  dead  are  raised  up,  and  the 
poor  have  good  tidings  preached 
to  them.  6And  blessed  is  he, 
whosoever  shall  find  no  occasion 
of  stumbling  in  me. 

Jesus'  Testimony 
XI:  7-19. 

7  And  as  these  went  their  way, 
Jesus  began  to  say  unto  the  multi- 
tudes concerning  John,  What  went 
ye  out  into  the  wilderness  to  be- 
hold ?    a    reed   shaken    with    the 


VII:  18-23. 

18  And  the  disciples  of  John  told 
him  of  all  these  things.  19And 
John  calling  unto  him  *  two  of  bis 
disciples  sent  them  to  the  Lord, 
saying,  Art  thou  he  that  cometh, 
or  look  we  for  another  ?  20  And 
when  the  men  were  come  unto 
him,  they  said,  John  the  Baptist 
hath  sent  us  unto  thee,  saying, 
Art  thou  he  that  cometh,  or  look 
we  for  another  ?  21  In  that  hour 
he  cured  many  of  diseases  and 
'•'plagues  and  evil  spirits;  and  on 
many  that  were  blind  he  bestowed 
sight.  22  And  he  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Go  and  tell  John 
the  things  which  ye  have  seen 
and  heard  ;  the  blind  receive  their 
sight,  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers 
are  cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear, 
the  dead  are  raised  up,  the 
poor  have  good  '"tidings  preached 
to  them.  23  And  blessed  is  he, 
whosoever  shall  find  no  occasion 
of  stumbling  in  me. 

Concerning  John. 

VII:   24-28:    31-35;    XVI:  16. 

7  24And  when  the  messengers 
of  John  departed, 
he  began  to  say  unto  the  multi- 
tudes concerning  John,  What  went 
ye  out  into  the  wilderness  to  be- 
hold ?    a    reed   shaken    with    the

Matthew. 

wind  ?  8  But  what  went  ye  out  to 
see?  a  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment?    Behold,    they   that    wear 

soft  raiment  are  in  king's  houses. 

9  *  But  wherefore  went  ye  out  ?  to 
see  a  prophet  ?  Yea,  I  say  unto 
you,  and  much  more  than  a  prophet. 

10  This  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  written, 

*  Behold  I  send  my  messenger  be- 

fore thy  face, 
Who  shall   prepare  thy  way  be- 
fore thee. 
11  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Among 
them  that  are  born  of  women  there 
hath  not  arisen  a  greater  than  John 
the  Baptist :  yet  he  that  is  *  but 
little  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
greater  than  he.     12  And  from   the 
days  of  John  the  Baptist  until  now 

the  kingdom  of  heaven  suffereth 
violence,  and  men  of  violence  take 
it  by  force.  13  For  all  the  proph- 
ets and  the  law  prophesied  until 
John.  u  And  if  ye  are  willing  to 
receive  *  it,  this  is  Elijah,  that  is 
to    come.     15  He    that    hath    ears 

*  to    hear,  let    him   hear.       16  But 

whereunto    shall     I     liken 
this  generation  ?

And  he  cometh  "into  a  house. 
20  And  the  multitude  cometh  to- 
gether again,  so  that  they  could 
not  so  much  as  eat  bread.  "21  And 
when  his  friends  heard  it,  they 
went  out  to  lay  hold  on  him  :  for 
they  said,  He  is  beside  himself. 


It  is  like  unto  children  sitting  in 
the  marketplaces,  who  call  unto 
their  fellows  17  and  say,  We  piped 
unto  you,  and  ye  did  not  dance  ; 
we  wailed,  and  ye  did  not  *  mourn. 
i8  For  John  came  neither  eating  nor 
drinking, 

and  they  say,  He  hath  a 
demon.  19  The  Son  of  man  came 
eating  and  drinking,  and  they  say, 
Behold,  a  gluttonous  man  and  a 
winebibber,  a  friend  of  publicans 
and  sinners  !  And  wisdom  *  is 
justified  by  her  "works.

see?  a  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment? Behold,  they  that  are 
gorgeously  apparelled,  and  live 
delicately,    are   in    king's    courts, 

26  But  what  went  ye  out  to 
see  ?  a  prophet  ?  Yea,  I  say  unto 
you,  and  much  more  than  a  prophet. 

27  This  is  he  of  whom  it  is  written, 
:'  Behold  I  send  my  messenger  be- 
fore thy  face, 

Who  shall  prepare  thy  way  be- 
fore thee. 
28  I  say   unto   you,  Among 
them  that  are  born  of  women  there 
is  none  greater  than  John : 

yet  he  that  is  *but 
little  in  the  kingdom  of  God  is 
greater  than  he.  16  16The  law 
and  the  prophets  were  until  John  : 
from  that  time  the  gospel  of 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  preached, 
and  every  man  entereth  violently 
into  it. 


7  31  Whereunto  then  shall  I  liken 
the  men  of  this  generation,  and  to 
what  are  they  like  ?  32  They  are 
like  unto  children  that  sit  in 
the  marketplace,  and  call  one 
to  another ;  who  say,  We  piped 
unto  you,  and  ye  did  not  dance ; 
we  wailed,  and  ye  did  not  weep. 
33  For  John  the  Baptist  is  come  eat- 
ing no  bread  nor  drinking  wine  > 
and  ye  say,  He  hath  a 
demon.  34  The  Son  of  man  is  come 
eating  and  drinking ;  and  ye  say, 
Behold,  a  gluttonous  man,  and  a 
winebibber,  a  friend  of  publicans 
and  sinners!  S6  And  wisdom  *is 
justified  of  all  her  children. 


9  32  And  as  they  went  forth,  be- 
hold, there  was  brought  to  him  a 
dumb  man  possessed  with  a  de- 
mon. 33  And  when  the  demon  was 
cast  out,  the  dumb  man  spake  : 
and  the  multitudes  marvelled,  say- 


XI  :   14-16. 


14  And   he    was   casting  out   a 

demon  that  "was  dumb.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  demon  was 
gone  out,  the  dumb  man  spake ; 
and  the  multitudes  marvelled.

Mark. 


22  And  the  scribes  that  came  down 
from  Jerusalem  said,  He  hath 
*  Beelzebub,  and,  *  By  the  prince 
of  the  demons  casteth  he  out  the 
demons. 


Ill:  23-30. 
23  And  he  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said  unto  them  in  para- 
bles, How  can  Satan  cast  out  Sa- 
tan? 24  And  if  a  kingdom  be  divided 
against  itself,  that  kingdom  cannot 
stand.  2fl  And  if  a  house  be  di- 
vided against  itself,  that  house  will 
not  be  able  to  stand.  26And  if 
Satan  hath  risen  up  against  him- 
self, and  is  divided,  he  cannot 
stand,  but  hath  an  end. 


27  But  no  one  can  enter  into 
the  house  of  the  strong  man,  and 
spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first 
bind  the  strong  man;  and  then 
he  will  spoil  his  house. 


28  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  All  their 


sins  shall  be  forgiven  unto  the 
sons  of  men,  and  their  blasphe- 
mies wherewith  soever  they  shall 
blaspheme  : 


29  but  whosoever  shall 
blaspheme  against  the  Holy  Spirit 
hath  never  forgiveness,  but  is 
guilty   of  an    eternal    sin :

Matthew. 

ing,  It  was  never  so  seen  in 
Israel.  ^  But  the  Pharisees  said, 
'■'■  By  the  prince  of  the  demons 
casteth  he  out  demons. 

12  22  Then  was  brought  unto 
him  "one  possessed  with  a  demon, 
blind  and  dumb  :  and  he  healed 
him,  insomuch  that  the  dumb  man 
spake  and  saw.  2s  And  all  the 
multitudes  were  amazed,  and  said, 
Can  this  be  the  son  of  David  ? 
24  But  when  the  Pharisees  heard 
it,  they  said,  This  man  doth  not 
cast  out  demons,  but  *  by  "Beelze- 
bub the  prince  of  the  demons.

25  And  knowing   their  thoughts 
he  said  unto  them, 

Every  kingdom 
divided  against  itself  is  brought  to 
desolation ;  and  every  city  or 
house  divided  against  itself  shall 
not  stand:  26and  if  Satan  casteth 
out  Satan,  he  is  divided  against 
himself;  how  then  shall  his  king- 
dom   stand  ? 

27 And  if  I 
by  Beelzebub, cast  out  demons,  :by 
whom  do  your  sons  cast  them  out  ? 
therefore  shall  they  be  your  judges. 
28  But  if  I  by  the  Spirit  of  God 
cast  out  demons,  then  is  the  king- 
dom   of    God    come    upon    you. 

29  Or  how  can  one  enter  into 
the  house  of  the  strong  man,  and 
spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first 
bind  the  strong  man  f  and  then 
he  will  spoil  his  house. 

30  He  that  is  not  with  me 
is  against  me  ;  and  he  that  gather- 
eth  not  with  me  scattereth. 

31  Therefore  I  say  unto  you, 
Every  sin  and  blasphemy  shall 
be  forgiven  unto  men  ;  but  the 
blasphemy  against  the  Spirit  shall 
not  be  forgiven.  s2And  whoso- 
ever shall  speak  a  word  against 
the  Son  of  man,  it  shall  be  forgiven 
him ;  but  whosoever  shall  speak 
against  the  Holy  Spirit,  it  shall  not 
be  forgiven  him,  neither  in  this 
"world,  nor  in  that  which  is  to 
come. 


Luke. 


15  But  some  of  them  said,  *  By 
*  Beelzebub  the  prince  of  the  de- 
mons   casteth    he     out     demons. 

16  And  others,  trying  him,  sought 
of  him  a  sign  from  heaven. 

XI:  17-23;  XII:  10. 

17Buthe,  knowing  their  thoughts, 
said  unto  them, 

Every  kingdom 
divided  against  itself  is  brought  to 
desolation  ;  *  and  a  house  divided 
against  a  house  falleth. 

ι»  And  it- 
Satan  also  is  divided  against  him- 
self, how  shall  his  kingdom  stand  ? 
because  ye  say  that  I  cast  out  de- 
mons by  Beelzebub.  19And  if  I 
by  Beelzebub  cast  out  demons,  by 
whom  do  your  sons  cast  them  out  ? 
therefore  shall  they  be  your  judges. 

20  But  if  I  by  the  finger  of  God 
cast  out  demons,  then  is  the  king- 
dom  of    God    come    upon    you. 

21  When  the  strong  man  fully 
armed  guardeth  his  own  court,  his 
goods  are  in  peace  :  22but  when  a 
stronger  than  he  shall  come  upon 
him,  and  overcome  him,  he  taketh 
from  him  his  whole  armor  wherein 
he  trusted,  and  divideth  his 
spoils.  a  He  that  is  not  with  me 
is  against  me  ;  and  he  that  gather- 
ed! not  with  me  scattereth. 


12  10And  every  one  who  shall 
speak  a  word  against  the  Son  of 
man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him  :  but 
unto  him  that  blasphemeth  against 
the  Holy  Spirit  it  shall  not  be  for- 
given.

speak,  they  shall  give  account

XII:  38-42. 

38  Then  certain  of  the  scribes 
and  Pharisees  answered  him,  say- 
ing, Teacher,  we  would  see  a 
sign  from  thee.  39But  he  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them,  An 
evil  and  adulterous  generation 
seeketh  after  a  sign ;  and  there 
shall  no  sign  be  given  to  it  but 
the  sign  of  Jonah  the  prophet : 
40  for  as  Jonah  was  three  days  and 
three  nights  in  the  belly  of  the 
*  whale ;  so  shall  the  Son  of  man 
be  three  days  and  three  nights  in 
the  heart  of  the  earth.  41  The 
men  of    Nineveh  stand  up  in 

the  judgment  with  this  generation, 
and  shall  condemn  it :  for  they  re- 
pented at  the  preaching  of  Jonah  ; 
and  behold,  *a  greater  than  Jonah 
is  here.  42  The  queen  of  the  south 
shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment  with 
this  generation,  and 
shall  condemn  it :  for  she  came 
from  the  ends  of  the  earth  to  hear 
the  wisdom  of  Solomon;  and  behold, 
a  greater    than   Solomon   is   here. 


Against   Seeking  a  Sign. 

XI  :  29-32. 

29  And  when  the  multitudes  were 
gathering  together  unto  him, 


he  be- 
gan to  say,  This  generation  is  an 
evil  generation :  it  seeketh  after  a 
sign ;  and  there  shall  no  sign  be 
given  to  it  but  the  sign  of  Jonah. 
30  For  even  as  Jonah  became  a 
sign  unto  the  Ninevites,  so  shall 
also  the  Son  of  man  be  to  this 
generation.  32  The 

men  of  Nineveh  shall  stand  up  in 
the  judgment  with  this  generation, 
and  shall  condemn  it :  for  they  re- 
pented at  the  preaching  of  Jonah  ; 
and  behold,  a  greater  than  Jonah 
is  here.  31  The  queen  of  the  south 
shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment  with 
the  men  of  this  generation,  and 
shall  condemn  them  :  for  she  came 
from  the  ends  of  the  earth  to  hear 
the  wisdom  of  Solomon;  and  behold, 
*a  greater  than  Solomon  is  here.

43  But  the  unclean  spirit,  when 
*he  is  gone  out  of  the  man,  pass- 
eth  through  waterless  places,  seek- 
ing rest,  and  findeth  it  not.  44  Then 
he  saith,  I  will  return  into  my 
house  whence  I  came  out ;  and 
when  he  is  come,  he  findeth  it 
empty,  swept,  and  garnished. 
46  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  with 
"himself  seven  other  spirits  more 
evil  than  "himself,  and  they  enter 
in  and  dwell  there :  and  the  last 
state  of  that  man  becoineth  worse 
than  the  first.  Even  so  shall  it  be 
also  unto  this  evil  generation.

he  saith,  I  will  turn  back  unto  my 
house  whence  I  came  out.  26  And 
when  he  is  come,  he  findeth  it 
swept  and  garnished. 
26  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  (o 
him  seven  other  spirits  more 
evil  than  "'himself;  and  they  enter

XII:  46-50. 
46  While  he  was  yet  speaking  to 
the  multitudes,  behold,  his  mother 
and  his  brethren  stood  without, 
seeking  to  speak  to  him.  47*And 
one  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thy 
mother  and  thy  brethren  stand 
without,  seeking  to  speak  to  thee. 
48  But  he  answered  and  said  unto 
him  that  told  him,  Who  is  my 
mother?  and  who  are  my  breth- 
ren ?  49  And  he  stretched  forth 
his  hand  towards  his  disciples, 
and  said,  Behold,  my  mother  and 
my  brethren !  fi0  For  whosoever 
shall  do  the  will  of  my  Father 
who  is  in  heaven,  he  is  my  brother, 
and  sister,  and  mother. 


VIII:    19-21. 
19  And   there  came   to   him  hib 
mother    and    brethren,    and    they 
could    not   come   at   him   for    the 
crowd. 

20  And  it  was  told  him, 
Thy  mother  and  thy  brethren 
stand  without,  desiring  to  see  thee. 
21  But  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them, 


My  mother  and  my  brethren 
are  these  that  hear  the  word  of 
God,  and  do  it. 


Benediction    upon    the 
Mother    of   Jesus. 

XI :  27,  28. 
27  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
said  these  things,  a  certain  woman 
out  of  the  multitude  lifted  up  her 
voice,  and  said  unto  him,  Blessed 
is  the  womb  that  bare  thee,  and 
the  breasts  which  thou  did  suck. 
255  But  he  said,  Yea  rather,  blessed 
are  they  that  hear  the  word  of 
God,  and  keep  it. 


Parables      Address. 

The  Parable  of  the  Sozver. 


IV:   1-9. 

*And  again  he  began  to  teach 

by  the   sea    side.     And    there    is 

gathered   unto   him    a  very  great 

*  "t       multitude,  so  that  he  entered  into 

-*-»~~-    a  boat,  and  sat  in   the   sea  ;    and 

<?£Λ*β-  all  the  multitude  were  by  the  sea 

on    the    land.     2  And    he    taught 

them  many  things  in  parables,  and 

said  unto   them    in    his    teaching, 

3  Hearken  :  Behold,  the  sower  went 

forth    to    sow ;    4  and   it  came    to 

pass,  as  he  sowed,  some  seed  fell 

by  the  way  side,  and  the  birds 
came  and  devoured  it.  5  And 
other  fell  on  the  rocky  ground, 
where  it  hath  not  much  earth  ;  and 
straightway  it  sprang  up,  because 
it  had  no  deepness  of  earth  ;  c  and 
when  the  sun  was  risen,  it  was 
scorched ;  and  because  it  had  no 
root,  it  withered  away.  7  And 
other  fell  among  the  thorns,  and 
the  thorns  grew  up,  and  choked 
it,  and  it  yielded  no  fruit.     "And 


XIII  :    1-9. 

1  On  that  day  went  Jesus  out  of 
the  house,  and  sat  by  the  sea  side. 
2  And  there  were  gathered  unto 
him  great  multitudes,  so  that  he 
entered  into  a  boat,  and  sat  ;  and 
all  the  multitude  stood  on  the 
beach.  3And  he  spake  to  them 
many  things   in  parables,   saying, 

Behold,  the   sower   went 
forth  to  sow  ;  4  and 

as  he  sowed,  some  seeds  fell 

by  the  way  side,  and  the  birds 
came  and  devoured  them:  5and 
others  fell  upon  the  rocky  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth  :  and 
straightway  they  sprang  up,  because 
they  had  no  deepness  of  earth :  6  and 
when  the  sun  was  risen,  they  were 
scorched  ;  and  because  they  had  no 
root,  they  withered  away.  7  And 
others  fell  upon  the  thorns  ;  and 
the  thorns  grew  up  and  choked 
them :  8  and 


VIII:   4-8. 


4  And  when  a  great  multitude 
came  together,  and  they  of  every 
city  resorted  unto  him, 

he  spake 
by  a  parable : 

5  The  sower  went 
forth  to  sow  his  seed ;  and 

as  he  sowed,  some  fell 
by  the  way  side ;  and  it  was  trod- 
den under  foot,  and  the  birds 
of  the  heaven  devoured  it.  6  And 
other  fell  on  the  rock  ; 

and  as  soon  as  it  grew,  it  withered 
away,  because  it  kad  no  moisture. 


7  And 
other  fell  amidst  the  thorns ;  and 
the  thorns  grew  with  it,  and  choked 
it.  «And 


Mark. 

others  fell  into  the  good  ground, 
and  yielded  fruit,  growing  up  and 
increasing;  and  brought  forth, 
thirtyfold,  and  sixtyfold,  and  a 
hundredfold.  9  And  he  said,  Who 
hath    ears  to  hear,    let  him  hear.

others  fell  upon  the  good  ground, 
and  yielded  fruit,  some  a  hundred-

other  fell  into  the  good  ground, 
and  grew,  and  brought  forth  fruit 
a  hundredfold.  As  he  said 
these  things,  he  cried, 

He   that 
hath   ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 


IV:   10-12. 

10  And  when  he  was  alone,  they 
that  were  about  him  with  the 
twelve  asked  of  him  the  parables. 
11  And  he  said  unto  them, 

Unto  you  is  given  the  mystery 
of  the  kingdom  of  God : 


but  unto  them 
that  are  without,  all  things  are 
done  in  parables:  12that  seeing 
they  may  see,  and  not  perceive  ; 
and  hearing  they  may  hear,  and 
not  understand ;  lest  haply  they 
should  turn  again,  and  it  should 
be  forgiven  them. 


Application  of  the  Parable. 

XIII:  10-15. 

10  And  the  disciples  came,  and 
said  unto  him,  Why  speakest  thou 
unto  them  in  parables  ?  u  And 
he  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know 
the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom  of 
heaven,  but  to  them  it  is  not  given. 
12  For  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given,  and  he  shall  have  abun- 
dance :  but  whosoever  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even 
that  which  he  hath. 

13  Therefore 
speak  I  to  them  in  parables  ;  be- 
cause seeing  they  see  not,  and  hear- 
ing they  hear  not,  neither  do  they 
understand. 

14  And  unto  them  is 
fulfilled  the    prophecy  of  Isaiah, 
which  saith, 
*By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and 
shall  in  no  wise  understand  ; 
And    seeing   ye  shall    see,  and 
shall  in  no  wise  perceive  : 
15 For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed 
gross, 
And  their  ears  are  dull  of  hear- 
ing, 
And  their  eyes  they  have  closed  ; 
Lest  haply  they  should  perceive 

with  their  eyes, 
And  hear  with  their  ears, 
And  understand  with  their  heart, 
And  should  turn  again, 
And  I  should  heal  them. 


VIII:  9,  10. 

9  And  his  disciples  asked  him 
what  this  parable  might  be.  10  And 
he  said, 

Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know 
the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom  of 
God: 


but  to  the  rest  in  parables ;  that 
seeing  they  may  not  see,  and  hear- 
ing they  may  not  understand. 


"But  Blessed  are  Your  Eyes." 


XIII:  16,   17. 

16  But  blessed  are  your  eyes,  for 
they  see  ;  and  your  ears,  for  they 

hear.  17  For  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
that  many  prophets  and  righteous 
men  desired  to  see  the  things 
which  ye  see,  and  saw  them  not ; 
and  to  hear  the  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  heard  them  not. 


X  :  23,  24. 
23  And  turning  to  the  disciples, 
he  said  privately,  Blessed  are  the 
eyes  which  see  the  things  that  ye 
see,  'M  for  I  say  unto  you, 
that  many  prophets  and  kings 
desired  to  see  the  things 
which  ye  see,  and  saw  them  not ; 
and  to  hear  the  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  heard  them  not.

Interpretation  of  the  Parable  of  the  Sower. 


IV:  13-20. 
13  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Know 
ye    not    this    parable?    and    how 
shall   ye  know  all    the  parables? 

14  The    sower   soweth    the    word. 

15  And  these  are  they  by  the  way 
side,  where  the  word  is  sown ;  and 
when  they  have  heard,  straightway 
coraeth  Satan,  and  taketh  away 
the  word  which  hath  been  sown 
in  them.  16And  these  in  like 
manner  are  they  that  are  sown 
upon  the  rocky  places,  who,  when 
they  have  heard  the  word,  straight- 
way receive  it  with  joy;  17and 
they  have  no  root  in  themselves, 
but  endure  for  a  while ;  then, 
when  tribulation  or  persecution 
ariseth  because  of  the  word, 
straightway  they  stumble.  18And 
others  are  they  that  are  sown 
among  the  thorns;  these  are  they 
that  have  heard  the  word,  19and 
the  cares  of  the  *  world,  and  the 
deceitfulness  of  riches,  and  the  lusts 
of  other  things  entering  in,  choke 
the  word,  and  it  becometh  un- 
fruitful. 20And  those  are  they 
that  were  sown  upon  the  good 
ground ;  such  as  hear  the  word, 
and  accept  it,  and  bear  fruit, 
thirtyfold,  and  sixtyfold,  and  a 
hundredfold. 


XIII:   18-23. 
18  Hear  then  ye    the   parable  of 
the  sower. 

19  When  any  one  hear- 
eth  the  word  of  the  kingdom, 
and  understandeth  it  not,  then 
cometh  the  evil  one,  and  snatch- 
eth  away  that  which  hath  been 
sown  in  his  heart.  This  is  he 
that  was  sown  by  the  way  side. 
20  And  he  that  was  sown  upon  the 
rocky  places,  this  is  he  that  hear- 
eth  the  word,  and  straightway 
with  joy  receiveth  it ;  21  yet  hath 
he  not  root  in  himself,  but  endur- 
eth  for  a  while ;  and  when  tribu- 
lation or  persecution  ariseth  be- 
cause of  the  word,  straightway  he 
stumbleth.  22And  he  that  was 
sown  among  the  thorns,  this  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word ; 

and  the 
care  of  the  *  world,  and  the  de- 
ceitfulness   of   riches, 

choke  the 
word,  and  he  becometh  unfruitful. 
23  And  he  that  was  sown  upon  the 
good  ground,  this  is  he  that  hear- 
edi  the  word,  and  understandeth 
it ;  who  verily  beareth  frui1,  and 
bringeth  forth,  some  a  hundred- 
fold, some  sixty,  some  thirty. 


VIII:  11-15. 
11  Now  the  parable  is  this 


The 
seed  is  the  word  of  God.  12  And 
those  by  the  way  side  are  they 
that  have  heard  ;  then  cometh  the 
devil,  and  taketh  away  the  word 
from  their  heart,  that  they  may 
not  believe  and  be  saved. 

is  And 
those  on  the  rock  are  they  who, 
when  they  have  heard,  receive  the 
word  with  joy ;  and  these  have  no 
root,  who  for  a  while  believe,  and 
in   time  of   temptation  fall  away. 


14  And  that  which  fell  among  the 
thorns,  these  are  they  that  have 
heard,  and  as  they  go  on  their 
way  they  are  choked  with  cares 
and  riches  and  pleasures  of  this 
life,  and  bring  no  fruit  to  perfec- 
tion. 

16  And  that  in  the  good 
ground,  these  are  such  as  in  an 
honest  and  good  heart,  having 
heard  the  word,  hold  it  fast,  and 
bring  forth  fruit  with  *  patience. 


Encouragement  of  the  Understanding. 


IV:  21-25. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them,  Is  the 
lamp  brought  to  be  put  under  the 
bushel,  or  under  the  bed,  and 
not  to  be  put  on  the  stand  ? 

22  For 
there  is  nothing  hid,  save  that  it 
should  be  manifested ;  neither 
was  anything  made  secret,  but 
that  it  should  come  to  light.  23  If 
any  man  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear.  24  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Take  heed  what  ye  hear: 
with  what  measure  ye  mete  it 
shall  be  measured  unto  you  ;  and 
more  shall  be  given  unto  you. 
25  For  he  that  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given :  and  he  that  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even 
that  which  he  hath. 


VIII:  16-18. 

16  And  no  man  when  he  hath 
lighted  a  lamp,  covereth  it  with  a 
vessel,  or  putteth  it  under  a  bed  ; 
but  putteth  it  on  a  stand,  that  they 
that  enter  in  may  see  the  light. 
17  For  nothing  is  hid,  that  shall 
not  be  made  manifest ;  nor  any- 
thing secret,  that  shall  not  be 
known  and  come  to  light. 

is  Take 
heed  therefore  how  ye  hear : 


for  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given  ;  and  whosoever  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even 
that  which  he  *  thinketh  he  hath.

Parable  of  the  Sower :  Applied  to  the  Field  zvith 
the  Tares. 


IV:  26-29. 
26  And  he  said,  So  is  the  king- 
dom of  God,  as  if  a  man  should 
cast  seed  upon  the  earth  ;  2i  and 
should  sleep  and  rise  night  and 
day,  and  the  seed  should  spring 
up  and  grow,  he  knoweth  not 
how.  ^  The  earth  *  beareth  fruit 
of  herself;  first  the  blade,  then 
the  ear,  then  the  full  grain  in  the 
ear.  ^But  when  the  fruit  "is  ripe, 
straightway  he  i;putteth  forth  the 
sickle,  because  the  harvest  is 
come. 


XIII:  24-30. 
24  Another   parable    set    he    be- 
fore   them,   saying,   The   kingdom 
of  heaven  is  likened    unto  a  man 
that  sowed  good  seed  in  his  field  : 


26  but  while  men  slept,  his  enemy 
came  and  sowed  * 'tares  also  among 
the  wheat,  and  went  away.  2BBut 
when  the  blade  sprang  up  and 
brought  forth  fruit,  then  appeared 
the  tares  also.  w  And  the  serv- 
ants of  the  householder  came  and 
said  unto  him,  Sir,  didst  thou 
not  sow  good  seed  in  thy  field  ? 
whence  then  hath  it  tares  ?  28And 
he  said  unto  them,  *An  enemy 
hath  done  this.  And  the  serv- 
ants say  unto  him,  Wilt  thou  then 
that  we  go  and  gather  them  up  ? 
29  But  he  saith,  Nay  ;  lest  haply 
while  ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye 
root  up  the  wheat  with  them. 
50  Let  both  grow  together  until  the 
harvest :  and  in  the  time  of  the 
harvest  I  will  say  to  the  reapers, 
Gather  up  first  the  tares,  and  bind 
them  in  bundles  to  burn  them  ; 
but  gather  the  wheat  into  mv  barn. 


Parable  of  the  Mustard  Seed. 


IV:  30-32. 


30  And  he  said,  How  shall  we 
liken  the  kingdom  of  God  ?  or  in 
what  parable  shall  we  set  it  forth  ? 
31  *  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which,  when  it  is  sown  upon 
the  earth,  though  it  be  less  than 
all  the  seeds  that  are  upon  the 
earth,  32yet  when  it  is  sown, 
groweth  up,  and  becometh  greater 
than  all  the  herbs,  and  putteth 
out  great  branches ;  so  that  the 
birds  of  the  heaven  can  lodge  un 
der  the  shadow  thereof. 


XIII•  31,  32. 

31  Another  parable  set  he  before 
ihem,  saying,  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  a  grain  of 
mustard  seed,  which  a  man  took, 
and  sowed  in  his  field:  32  which 
indeed  is  less  than  all  seeds; 

but 
when  it  is  grown,  it  is  greater  than 
the  herbs,  and  becometh  a  tree, 
so  that  the  birds  of  the  heaven 
come  and  lodge  in  the  branches 
thereof. 


XIII:   18,  19. 

18  He  said  therefore,  Unto  what 
is  the  kingdom  of  God  like  ?  and 
whereunto  shall  I  liken  it  ?  19  It  is 
like  unto  a  gram  of  mustard  seed' 
which  a  man  took,  and  cast  into 
his  own  garden ; 

and  it  grew,  and 
became  a  tree  ; 

and  the  birds  ot 
the  heaven  lodged  in  the  branches 
thereof.

Parable  of  the  Leaven. 

XIII:  33. 

33  Another  parable  spake  he  unto 
them :  The  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  leaven,  which  a 
woman  took,  and  hid  in  three 
*  measure  of  meal,  till  it  was  all 
leavened. 


Method  of  Instruction  by  Parables. 


IV:  33,  34. 

83  And  with  many  such  parables 
spake  he  the  word  unto  them,  as 
they  were  able  to  hear  it ;  ^and 
without  a  parable  spake  he  not 
unto  them :  but  privately  to  his 
own  disciples  he  expounded  all 
things. 


XIII:   34,  35. 
34  All    these    things   spake  Jesus 
in  parables  unto  the  multitudes  ; 

and 
without  a  parable  spake  he  noth- 
ing unto  them : 


85  that  it  might  be 
fulfilled  which  was  spoken  through 
the  prophet,  saying, 

*I  will  open  my  mouth  in  para- 
bles ; 
I  will  utter  things  hidden   from 
the  foundation  *  of  the  world. 

Interpretation  of  the  Para- 
ble of  the  Field  with  the 
Tares. 

XIII:  36-43. 
36  Then  he  left  the  multitudes, 
and  went  into  the  house  ;  and  his 
disciples  came  unto  him,  saying, 
Explain  unto  us  the  parable  of  the 
tares  of  the  field.  37And  he  an- 
swered and  said,  He  that  soweth 
the  good  seed  is  the  Son  of  man  ; 
38 and  the  field  is  the  world;  and 
the  good  seed,  these  are  the  sons 
of  the  kingdom  ;  and  the  tares  are 
the  sons  of  the  evil  one;  39and 
the  enemy  that  sowed  them  is  the 
devil  :  and  the  harvest  is  *the  end 
of  the  world  ;  and  the  reapers  are 
angels.  40As  therefore  the  tares 
are  gathered  up  and  burned  with 
fire ;  so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of 
the  world.  41  The  Son  of  man 
shall  send  forth  his  angels,  and 
they  shall  gather  out  of  his  king- 
dom all  things  that  cause  stum- 
bling, and  them  that  do  iniquity, 
42 and  shall  cast  them  into  the  fur- 
nace of  fire :  there  shall  be  the 
weeping  and  the  gnashing  of  teeth 
13  Then  shall  the  righteous  shine 
forth  as  the  sun  in  the  kingdom 
of  their  Father.  He  that  hath 
ears,;::  let  him  hear. 


XIII:  20,  21. 

20  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto 
shall  I  liken  the  kingdom  of  God  ? 
21  It  is  like  unto  leaven,  which  a 
woman  took  and  hid  in  three 
"measures  of  meal,  till  it  was  all 
leavened.

The  Double  Parable  of  the 
Hid  Treasure  and  the 
Pearl  of  Great  Price. 

XIII :  44-46. 

44  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
like  unto  a  treasure  hidden  in  the 
field  ;  which  a  man  found,  and 
hid  ;  and  *  in  his  joy  he  goeth  and 
selleth  all  that  he  hath,  and  buy- 
eth  that  field. 

4fi  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  a  man  that  is  a  mer- 
chant seeking  goodly  pearls  :  46  and 
having  found  one  pearl  of  great 
price,  he  went  and  sold  all  that  he 
had,  and  bought  it. 

Parable  of  the  Fishnet. 

XIII :  47-50. 
47  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  like  unto  a  *  net,  that  was  cast

kind  :  4t>  which,  when  it  was  filled, 
they  drew  up  on  the  beach  ;  and 
they  sat  down,  and  gathered  the 
good  into  vessels,  but  the  bad

in  *the  end  of  the  world:  the 
angels  shall  come  forth,  and  sever 
the  wicked  from  among  the  right- 
eous, 60and  shall  cast  them  into 
the  furnace  of  fire :  there  shall 
be  the  weeping  and  the  gnashing 
of  teeth.

51  Have  ye  understood  all  these 
things  ?  They  say  unto  him,  Yea. 
62  And  he  said  unto  them,  There- 
fore every  scribe  who  hath  been 
made  a  disciple  to  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that  is 
a  householder,  who  bringeth  forth

The  Storm  on  the  Sea  of  Galilee. 


Luke.

36  And  on  that  day,  when  even 
was  come,  he  saith  unto  them, 
Let  us  go  over  unto  the  other 
side.  ss  And  leaving  the  multi- 
tude, they  take  him  with  them, 
even  as  he  was,  in  the  boat.     And 


VIII  .   18,  23-27. 


18  Now  when  Jesus  saw  great 
multitudes  about  him,  he  gave 
commandment  to  depart  unto  the 
other  side. 

23  And  when  he  was  entered  into 
a  boat,  his  disciples  followed  him. 


VIII :  22-25. 

22  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  one 
of  those  days,  that  he  entered  into 
a  boat,  himself  and  his  disciples ; 
and  he  said  unto  them,  Let  us  go 
over  unto  the  other  side  of  the 
lake  : 

and  they  launched  forth.

other  boats  were  with  him.  37  And 
there  ariseth  a  great  storm  of  wind, 
and  the  waves  beat  into  the  boat, 
insomuch  that  the  boat  was  now 
filling.  ^And  he  himself  was  in 
the  stern,  asleep  on  the  cushion  ; 
and  they  awake  him,  and  say  unto 
him,  Teacher,  carest  thou  not  that 
we  perish  ? 


39  And  he  awoke,  and 
rebuked  the  wind,  and  said  unto 
the  sea,  Peace,  be  still.  And  the 
wind  ceased,  and  there  was  a  great 
calm.  40And  he  said  unto  them, 
Why  are  ye  fearful  ?  have  ye  not 
yet  faith  ?  41  And  they  feared  ex- 
ceedingly, and  said  one  to  another, 
Who  then  is  this,  that  even  the 
wind  and  the  sea  obey  him  ? 


V:   1-20. 

*And  they  came  to  the  other 
side  of  the  sea,  into  the  country  of 
the  Gerasenes.  2And  when  he 
was  come  out  of  the  boat  straight- 
way there  met  him  out  of  the 
tombs  a  man  with  an  unclean 
spirit,  3who  had  his  dwelling  in 
the  tombs  :  and  no  man  could  any 
more  bind  him,  no,  not  with  a 
chain;  4 because  that  he  had  been 
often  bound  with  fetters  and  chains, 
and  the  chains  had  been  rent 
asunder  by  him,  and  the  fetters 
broken  in  pieces :  and  no  man 
had  strength  to  tame  him.  5  And 
always,  night  and  day,  in  the 
tombs  and  in  the  mountains,  he 
was  crying  out,  and  cutting  him- 
self with  stones.  6And  when  he 
saw  Jesus  from  afar,  he  ran  and 
*  worshipped  him  ;  7  and  crying 
with  a  loud  voice,  he  saith,  What 
have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus, 
thou  Son  of  the  Most  High  God? 
I  adjure  thee  by  God,  torment  me 
not.  8For  he  said  unto  him, 
Come  forth,  thou  unclean  spirit, 
out  of  the  man. 


9And  he  asked 
him,  What  is  thy  name  ?  And 
he  saith  unto  him,  My  name  is 
''Legion  ;  for  we  are  many.   10And 


Matthew. 


24  And  behold,  there  arose  a  great 
tempest  in  the  sea,  insomuch  that 
the  boat  was  covered  with  the 
waves : 

but  he  was  asleep.  ^  And 
they  came  to  him,  and  awoke  him, 
saying,  Save,  Lord  ; 

we  perish. 
26  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Why 
are  ye  fearful,  Ο  ye  of  little  faith  ? 
Then  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
winds  and  the  sea  ;

The  Gadarene  Demoniac. 

VIII:  28-34. 
28  And  when  he  was  come  to  the 
other  side  into  the  country  of  the 
Gadarenes,  there  met  him  two 
possessed  with  demons,  coming 
forth  out  of  the  tombs,  exceeding 
fierce,  so  that  no  man  could  pass 
by  that  way. 


29  And  behold, 
they  cried  out, 

saying,  What 
have  we  to  do  with  thee, 

thou  Son  of  God  ? 
art  thou  come  hither  to  torment  us 
before  the  time  ? 


Luke. 

23  But  as  they  sailed  he  fell  asleep  : 
and  there  came  down  a  storm  of 
wind  on  the  lake  ;  and  they  were 
filling  with  water,  and  were  in 
jeopardy. 

24  And  they  came  to  him, 
and  awoke  him,  saying,  Master, 
master,  we  perish. 


And  he  awoke, 
and  rebuked  the  wind  and  the 
raging  of  the  water :  and  they 
ceased,  and  there  was  a 
calm.  25And  he  said  unto  them, 
Where 
is  your  faith  ?  And  being  afraid 
they  marvelled,  saying  one  to  an- 
other, Who  then  is  this,  that  he 
commandeth  even  the  winds  and 
the  water,  and  they  obey  him? 


VIII:  26-39. 
26  And  they  arrived  at  the  coun- 
try of  the  *  Gerasenes,  which  is 
over  against  Galilee.  27  And  when 
he  was  come  forth  upon  the  land, 
there  met  him  a  certain  man  out 
of  the  city,  who  had  demons ; 
and  for  a  long  time  he  had  worn 
no  clothes,  and  abode  not  in  any 
house,  but  in  the  tombs. 


20  And  when  he 
saw  Jesus,  he  cried  out,  and  fell 
down  before  him,  and 
with  a  loud  voice  said,  What 
have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus, 
thou  Son  of  the  Most  High  God  ? 
I  beseech  thee,  torment  me 
not.  29For  he  was  commanding 
the  unclean  spirit 
to  come  out  from  the  man. 
For  ^oftentimes  it  had  seized  him: 
and  he  was  kept  under  guard,  and 
bound  with  chains  and  fetters ; 
and  breaking  the  bands  asunder, 
he  was  driven  of  the  demon  into 
the  deserts.  30And  Jesus  asked 
him,  What  is  thy  name  ?     And  he 

said,  Legion ;    for   many    demons 


Mark. 

he  besought  him  much  that  he 
would  not  send  them  away  out  of 
the  country.  n  Now  there  was 
there  on  the  mountain  side  a  great 
herd  of  swine  feeding.  12And 
they  besought  him,  saying,  Send 
us  into  the  swine,  that  we  may 
enter  into  them.  13And  he  gave 
them  leave.  And  the  unclean 
spirits  came  out,  and  entered  into 
the  swine :  and  the  herd  rushed 
down  the  steep  into  the  sea,  in 
number  about  two  thousand  ;  and 
they    were  drowned   in   the   sea. 

14  And  they  that  fed  them  fled,  and 
told  it  in  the  city,  and  in  the  coun- 
try. And  they  came  to  see  what 
it    was    that    had    come   to    pass. 

15  And  they  come  to  Jesus,  and  be- 
hold *  him  that  was  possessed  with 
demons  sitting,  clothed  and  in 
his  right  mind,  even  him  that  had 
the  legion  ;  and  they  were  afraid. 

16  And  they  that  saw  it  declared 
unto  them  how  it  befell  him  that 
was  possessed  with  demons,  and 
concerning  the  swine.  17  And  they 
began  to  beseech  him  to  depart 
from  their  borders.  18  And  as  he 
was  entering  into  the  boat,  he  that 
had  been  possessed  with  demons 
besought  him  that  he  might  be 
with  him.  19And  he  suffered  him 
not,  but  saith  unto  him,  Go  to  thy 
house  unto  thy  friends,  and  tell 
them  how  great  things  the  Lord 
hath  done  for  thee,  and  how  he 
had  mercy  on  thee.  20  And  he  went 
his  way,  and  began  to  publish  in  De- 
capolis  how  great  things- Jesus  had 
done  forhim:  andall  men  marvelled. 


Matthew. 


30  Now  there 
was  afar  off  from  them  a  herd  of 
many  swine  feeding.  31  And  the 
demons  besought  him,  saying,  If 
thou  cast  us  out,  send  us  away  into 
the  herd  of  swine.  32  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Go.  And  they 
came  out,  and  went  into  the 
swine :  and  behold,  the  whole 
herd  rushed  down  the  steep  into 
the  sea,  and  perished  in  the  waters. 
33  And  they  that  fed  them  fled,  and 
went  away  into  the  city,  and  told 
everything,  and  what  was  befallen 
to  them  that  were  possessed  with 
demons.  3*  And  behold,  all  the 
city  came  out  to  meet  Jesus :  and 
when  they  saw  him,

him  that  he  would  depart  from 
their  borders. 


were  entered  into  him.  31And 
they  entreated  him  that  he  would 
not  command  them  to  depart  into 
the  abyss.  32  Now  there  was  there 
a  herd  of  many  swine  feeding  on 
the  mountain  :  and  they  entreated 
him  that  he  would  give  them  leave 
to  enter  into  them.  And  he  gave 
them  leave.  ^And  the  demons 
came  out  from  the  man,  and  en- 
tered into  the  swine :  and  the  herd 
rushed  down  the  steep  into  the 
lake,  and  were  drowned.  34And 
when  they  that  fed  them  saw  what 
had  come  to  pass,  they  fled,  and 
told  it  in  the  city  and  in  the  coun- 
try. <&  And  they  went  out  to  see 
what  had  come  to  pass ;  and  they 
came  to  Jesus,  and  found  the  man, 
from  whom  the  demons  were  gone 
out,  sitting,  clothed  and  in  his 
right  mind,  at  the  feet  of  Jesus : 
and  they  were  afraid.  S6And  they 
that  saw  it  told  them  how  he  that 
was  possessed  with  demons  was 
*  made  whole.  37  And  all  the  peo- 
ple of  the  country  of  the  Gerasenes 
round  about  asked  him  to  depart 
from  them ;  for  they  were  holden 
with  great  fear:  and  he  entered 
into  a  boat,  and  returned.  38  But 
the  man  from  whom  the  demons 
were  gone  out  prayed  him  that  he 
might  be  with  him  :  but  he  sent 
him  away,  saying,  39  Return  to  thy 
house,  and  declare  how  great 
things  God  hath  done  for  thee. 
And  he  went  his  way,  publishing 
throughout  the  whole  city  how 
great  things  Jesus  had  done  for 
him. 


J  aims'  Daughter,  and  the  Woman  with  the  Bloody  Flux. 
V:  21-43.  IX:   18-26.  VIII:  40-56. 


21  And  when  Jesus  had  crossed 
over  again  in  the  boat  unto  the 
other  side,  a  great  multitude  was 
gathered  unto  him  ;  and  he  was 
by  the  sea.  22And  there  cometh 
one  of  the  rulers  of  the  syna- 
gogue, Jairus  by  name ;  and  see- 
ing him,  he  falleth  at  his  feet, 
23  and  beseecheth  him  much,  say- 
ing, My  little  daughter  is  at  the 
point  of  death  :  I  pray  thee,  that 
thou  come  and  lay  thy  hands  on 
her,  that  she  may  be  *  made  whole, 
and  live.  24  And  he  went  with 
him ;  and  a  great  multitude  fol- 
lowed him,  and  they  thronged  him. 


18  While  he  spake    these  things 
unto  them, 


beho'd,  there  came  *  a 
ruler, 

and  *  worshipped  him, 

saying, 
My  daughter  is  even  now  dead  : 
but  come  and  lay  thy  hand  upon 
her,  and  she  shall  live.  19And 
Jesus  arose,  and  followed  him,  and 
so   did  his   disciples. 

20  And   be- 


40  And  as  Jesus  returned,  the 
multitude  welcomed  him  ;  for  they 
were  all  waiting  for  him. 

«And 
behold,  there  came  a  man  named 
Jairus,  and  he  was  a  ruler  of  the 
synagogue :  and  he  fell  down  at 
Jesus'  feet,  and  besought  him  to 
come  into  his  house  ;  42for  he  had 
an  only  daughter,  about  twelve 
years  of  age,  and  she  was  dying. 


But    as   he   went    the   multitudes 
thronged  him.

Mark. 


25  And  a  woman,  who  had  an 
issue  of  blood  twelve  years,  26  and 
had  suffered  many  things  of  many 
physicians,  and  had  spent  all  that 
she  had,  and  was  nothing  bettered, 
but  rather  grew  worse,  w  having 
heard  the  things  concerning  Jesus, 
came  in  the  crowd  behind,  and 
touched  his  garment.  ^  For  she 
said,  If  I  touch  but  his  garments, 
I  shall  be  made  whole.  29And 
straightway  the  fountain  of  her 
blood  was  dried  up  ;  and  she  felt 
in  her  body  that  she  was  healed 
of  her  *  plague.  30  And  straight- 
way Jesus,  perceiving  in  himself 
that  the  power  proceeding  from 
him  had  gone  forth,  turned  him 
about  in  the  crowd,  and  said,  Who 
touched  my  garments  ?  31  And  his 
disciples  said  unto  him,  Thou  seest 
the  multitude  thronging  thee,  and 
sayest   thou,   Who     touched    me? 


32  And  he  looked  round  about  to 
see   her  that  had  done  this  thing. 

33  But  the  woman  fearing  and 
trembling,  knowing  what  had  been 
done  to  her,  came  and  fell  down 
before  him,  and  told  him  all  the 
truth. 

■;4  And 
he  said  unto  her,  Daughter,  thy 
faith  hath  made  thee  whole  ;  go 
in  peace,  and  be  whole  of  thy 
plague. 

35  While  he  yet  spake,  they  come 
from  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue's 
house,  saying,  Thy  daughter  is 
dead :  why  troublest  thou  the 
Teacher  any  further  ?  36  But  Jesus, 
"not  heeding  the  word  spoken, 
saith  unto  the  ruler  of  the  syna- 
gogue, 

Fear  not,  only  believe. 
37  And  he  suffered  no  man  to  fol- 
low with  him,  save  Peter,  and 
James,  and  John  the  brother  of 
James.  ^And  they  come  to  the 
house  of  the  ruler  of  the  syna- 
gogue; and  he  beholdeth  a  tumult, 
and  many  weeping  and  wailing 
greatly.  39And  when  he  was  en- 
tered in,  he  saith  unto  them,  Why 
make  ye  a  tumult,  and  weep  ?  the 
child  is  not  dead,  but  sleepeth. 
40  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn. 
But  he,  having  put  them  all  forth, 
taketh  the  father  of  the  child  and

hold,  a  woman,  who  had  an  issue 
of  blood   twelve   years, 


came  be- 
hind him,  and  touched  the  bor- 
der of  his  garment  :  21  for  she  said 
within  herself,  If  I  do  but  touch  his 
garment,  I  shall  be  *  made  whole. 


22  But  Jesus  turning  and  seeing 
her  said,  Daughter,  be  of  good 
cheer;  thy  faith  hath* made  thee 
whole.  And  the  woman  was 
made    whole    from    that    hour. 


23  And  when  Jesus  came  into  the 
ruler's  house,  and  saw  the  flute- 
players,  and  the  crowd  making  a 
tumult,  24he  said,  Give  place  :  for 
the  damsel  is  not  dead,  but  sleep- 
eth. And  they  laughed  him  to 
scorn.  25  But  when  the  crowd  was 
put  forth, 


Luke. 

43  And  a  woman  hav- 
ing an  issue  of  blood  twelve  years, 
who  "had  spent  all  her  living 
upon  physicians,  and  could  not  be 
healed  of  any, 

44  came  behind  him, 
and  touched  the  border  of  his 
garment : 


and  immediately  the  issue 
of    her   blood   stanched. 


4S  And 
Jesus  said,  Who  is  it  that  touched 
me?  And  when  all  denied,  Peter 
said,  "and  they  that  were  with 
him,  Master,  the  multitudes  press 
thee  and  crush  thee.  **  But  Jesus 
said.  Some  one  did  touch  me  ;  for 
I  perceived  that  power  had  gone 
forth  from  me.  47  And  when  the 
woman  saw  that  she  was  not  hid, 
she  came  trembling,  and  falling 
down  before  him  declared  in  the 
presence  of  all  the  people  for  what 
cause  she  touched  him,  and  how 
she  was  healed  immediately.  48  And 
he  said  unto  her,  Daughter,  thy 
faith  hath  *  made  thee  whole ;  go 
in  peace. 

49  While  he  yet  spake,  there 
cometh  one  from  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue's  house,  saying,  Thy 
daughter  is  dead  ;  trouble  not  the 
Teacher. 

60  But  Jesus  hearing  it, 
answered  him,  Fear  not :  only  be- 
lieve, and  she  shall  be  *  made 
whole.  61  And  when  he  came  to 
the  house,  he  suffered  not  any  man 
to  enter  in  with  him,  save  Peter, 
and  John,  and  James,  and  the 
father  of  the  maiden  and  her 
mother. 

δ2  And  all  were  weeping, 
and   bewailing  her  : 

but  he  said, 
Weep  not ;  for  she  is  not  dead, 
but  sleepeth.  53  And  they  laughed 
him  to  scorn,  knowing  that  she 
was  dead.

damsel  rose  up,  and  walked ;  for 
she  was  twelve    years    old.

they  were  amazed  straightway  with 
a  great  amazement.  ω  And  he

The  Widow's  Son  of  Nain. 
|  VII:  11-17. 
11  And  it  came  -  to  pass  *  soon 
afterwards,  that  he  went  to  a  city 
called  Nain ;  and  his  disciples 
went  with  him,  and  a  great  multi- 
tude. 12  Now  when  he  drew  near 
to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold, 
there  was  carried  out  one  that  was 
dead,  the  only  son  of  his  mother, 
and  she  was  a  widow  :  and  much 
people  of  the  city  was  with  her. 
13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her,  he 
had  compassion  on  her,  and  said 
unto  her,  Weep  not.  14And  he 
came  nigh  and  touched  the  bier: 
and  the  bearers  stood  still.  And 
he  said,  Young  man,  I  say  unto 
thee,  Arise.  1δ  And  he  that  was 
dead  sat  up,  and  began  to  speak. 
And  he  gave  him  to  his  mother. 
16  And  fear  took  hold  on  all :  and 
they  glorified  God,  saying,  A  great 
prophet  is  arisen  among  us  :  and, 
God  hath  visited  his  people.  17And 
this  report  went  forth  concerning 
him  in  the  whole  of  Judaea,  and 
all  the  region  round  about.

and  he  cometh  into  his  own  coun- 
try ;  and  his  own  disciples  follow 
him.  2And  when  the  sabbath  was

synagogue  : 


XIII :  53-58. 

63 And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jesus  had  finished  these  parables, 
he  departed  thence. 

5i  And  coming  into  his  own 
country  he  taught  them  in  their 
synagogue, 


IV:  16-30. 

16  And  he  came  to  Nazareth, 
where  he  had  been  brought  up  : 
and  he  entered,  as  his  custom  was, 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  stood  up  to  read. 

17  And  there 
was  delivered  unto  him  *the  book 
of  the   prophet   Isaiah.     And    he

and  *many  hearing  him  were 
astonished,  saying,  Whence  hath 
this  man  these  things  ?  and,  What 
is  the  wisdom  that  is  given  unto 
this  man,  and  what  mean  such 
*  mighty  works  wrought  by  his 
hands  ? 

3  Is  not  this  the  car- 
penter, the  son  of  Mary,  and 
brother  of  James,  and  Joses,  and 
fudas,  and  Simon?  and  are  not 
his   sisters  here  with    us? 


And  they  were  *  offended   in  him. 


4  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A 
prophet  is  not  without  honor,  save 
in  his  own  country,  and  among  his 
own  kin,  and  in  his  own  house. 


insomuch  that  they  were 
astonished,  and  said,  Whence  hath 
this  man  this  wisdom,  and  these 
*  mighty  works  ? 


65  Is  not  this  the  car- 
penter's son?  is  not  his  mother 
called  Mary?  and  his  brethren, 
*James,  and  Joseph,  and  Simon, 
and  Judas  ?  £6  And  his  sisters,  are 
they  not  all  with  us  ?  Whence  then 
hath  this  man  all  these  things  ? 
67And  they  were  "offended  in  him. 


But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A

in  his  own  country,

opened   the   book   and  found  the 
place  where  it  was  written, 
18  *  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
me, 
"Because    he     anointed    me    to 
preach  good   tidings  to  the 
poor  : 
He  hath  sent   me  to  proclaim 

release  to  the  captives, 
And  recovering  of  sight  to  the 

blind, 
To  set  at  liberty  them  that  are 
bruised, 

19  To  proclaim  the  acceptable  year 

of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and 
gave  it  back  to  the  attendant,  and 
sat  down  :  and  the  eyes  of  all  in 
the  synagogue  were  fastened  on 
him.  21  And  he  began  to  say  unto 
them,  To-day  hath  this  scripture 
been  fulfilled  in  your  ears.  22  And 
all  bare  him  witness,  and  won- 
dered at  the  words  of  grace  which 
proceeded  out  of  his  mouth :  and 
they  said,  Is  not  this  Joseph' s  son  ? 


23  And  he  said  unto  them,  Doubt- 
less ye  will  say  unto  me  this  para- 
ble, Physician,  heal  thyself :  what- 
soever we  have  heard  done  at 
Capernaum,  do  also  here  in  thine 
own  country.  24And  he  said, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  No  prophet 
is  acceptable  in  his  own  country. 

25  But  of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you, 
There  were  many  widows  in  Israel 
in  the  days  of  Elijah,  when  the 
heaven  was  shut  up  three  years 
and  six  months,  when  there  came 
a  great   famine  over  all   the  land  ; 

26  and  unto  none  of  them  was  Eli- 
jah sent,  but  only  to  *  Zarephath, 
in  the  land  of  Sidon,  unto  a  woman 
that  was  a  widow.  27  And  there 
were  many  lepers  in  Israel  in  the 
time  of  Elisha  the  prophet ;  and 
none  of  them  was  cleansed,  but 
only  Naaman  the  Syrian.  28  And 
they  were  all  filled  with  wrath   in

5  And  he  could  there  do 
no  "mighty  work,  save  that  he 
laid  his  hands  upon  a  few  sick 
folk,  and  healed  them.  6And  he 
marvelled  because  of  their  unbelief. 


VI:  63-11. 
6  And  he  went  round  about  the 
villages  teaching. 


7  And  he  calleth  unto  him  the 
twelve,  and  began  to  send  them 
forth  by  two  and  two ;  and  he 
gave  them  authority  over  the  un- 
clean spirits  ;

them  'hat  they  should  take  nothing 
for  their  journey,  save  a  staff  only  ; 
no  bread,  no  wallet,  no  "money 
in  their  "purse;  9but  to  go  shod 
with  sandals ;  and,  said  he,  put 
not  on  two  coats.

The  Mission  of  the  Twelve 

IX:  35-X:  1,  5-16. 

9  s5  And  Jesus  went  about  all 
the  cities  and  the  villages,  teach- 
ing in  their  synagogues,  and  preach- 
ing the  gospel  of  the  kingdom, 
and  healing  all  manner  of  disease 
and  all  manner  of  sickness.  s6  But 
when  he  saw  the  multitudes,  he 
was  moved  with  compassion  for 
them,  because  they  were  d  i  s  - 
tressed  and  scattered,  as  sheep  not 
having  a  shepherd.  37  Then  saith 
he  unto  his  disciples,  The  harvest 
indeed  is  plenteous,  but  the  labor- 
ers are  few.  ^  Pray  ye  therefore 
the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he 
send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest. 

10  l  And  he  called  unto  him  his 
twelve  disciples,  and  gave  them 
authority  over  unclean  spirits,  to 
cast  them  out,  and  to  heal  all 
manner  of  disease  and  all  manner 
of  sickness. 


5  These  twelve  Jesus 
sent  forth,  and  charged  them,  say- 
ing, Go  not  into  any  way  of  the 
Gentiles,  and  enter  not  into  any 
city  of  the  Samaritans:  6but  go 
rather  to  the  lost  sheep  of  the 
house  of  Israel.  7  And  as  ye  go, 
preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  at  hand.  8Heal  the 
sick,  raise  the  dead,  cleanse  the 
lepers,  cast  out  demons  :  freely  ye 
received,  freely  give.  9  Get  you 
no  gold,  nor  silver,  nor  brass  in 
your  *  purses  ;  i0  no  wallet  for 
your  journey,  neither  two  coats, 
nor  shoes,  nor  staff:  for  the  laborer 
is  worthy  of  his  food. 


ihe  synagogue,  as  they  heard  these 
tilings  J  29and  they  rose  up,  and 
cast  him  forth  out  of  the  city,  and 
led  him  unto  the  brow  of  the  hill 
whereon  their  city  was  built,  that 
they  might  throw  him  down  head- 
long. 30But  he  passing  through 
the  midst  of  them  went  his  way. 


IX:  1-5;  X:  1-12:  XIII:  22. 
13  22And  he  went  on  his  way 
through  cities  and  villages,  teach- 
ing, and  journeying  on  unto  Jeru- 
salem. 


10  2  And  he  said  unto  them, 

The  harvest 
indeed  is  plenteous,  but  the  labor- 
ers are  few :  pray  ye  therefore 
the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he 
send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest. 

9  J  And  he  called  the  twelve  to- 
gether, and  gave  them  power  and 
authority  over  all  demons,  and  to 
cure  diseases. 


10  1  Now  after  these  things  the 
Lord  appointed  seventy  "others, 
and  sent  them  two  and  two  before 
his  face  into  every  city  and  place, 
whither  he  himself  was  about    to 


9  2  And  he  sent  them  forth  to 
preach  the  kingdom  of  God,  and 
to  heal  "  the  sick. 


3  And  he  said  unto  them,  Take 
nothing  for  your  journey,  neither 
staff,  nor  wallet,  nor  bread,  nor 
money  ;    neither   have  two   coats.

Mark. 


10 And  he  said  unto  them, 
Wheresoever  ye  enter  into  a 
house,  there  abide  till  ye  depart 
thence. 


11  And  whatsoever  place  shall  not 
receive  you,  and  they  hear  you  not, 
as  ye  go  forth  thence,  shake  off 
the  dust  that  is  under  your  feet 
for  a  testimony  unto  them. 


Matthew. 


uAnd  into  whatsoever  city  or  vil 
age  ye  shall  enter,  search  out  who 
in  it  is  worthy ;  and  there  abide  till 
ye  go  forth.  12  And  as  ye  enter  into 
the  house,  salute  it.  13And  if  the 
house  be  worthy,  let  your  peace 
come  upon  it :  but  if  it  be  not 
worthy,  let  your  peace  return  to 
you. 


14  And  whosoever  shall  not  re- 
ceive you,  nor  hear  your  words,  as  ye 
go  forth  out  of  that  house  or  that 
city,  shake  off  the  dust  of  your  feet. 


15  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the 
land  of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  in 
the  day  of  judgment,  than  for  that 
city.  16  Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as 
sheep  in  the  midst  of  wolves :  be 
\e  therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and 
*  harmless  as  doves. 


Luke. 

10 4  Carry  no  purse,  no  wallet, 
no  shoes ;  and  salute  no  man  on 
the  way. 


9  4And  into  whatsoever  house 
ye  enter,  there  abide,  and  thence 
depart. 


10  5And  into  whatsoever 
house  ye  shall  *  enter,  first  say, 
Peace  be  to  this  house.  6And  if 
if  a  son  of  peace  be  there,  your 
peace  shall  rest  upon  *him  :  but 
if  not,  it  shall  turn  to  you  again. 
7  And  in  that  same  house  remain, 
eating  and  drinking  such  things  as 
they  give :  for  the  laborer  is 
worthy  of  his  hire.  Go  not  from 
house  to  house.  8And  into  what- 
soever city  ye  enter,  and  they  re- 
ceive you,  eat  such  things  as  are 
set  before  you :  9  and  heal  the  sick 
that  are  therein,  and  say  unto 
them,  The  kingdom  of  God  is 
come  nigh  unto  you. 

9  "And  as  many  as  receive  you 
not,  when  ye  depart  from  that 
city,  shake  off  the  dust  from  your 
feet  for  a  testimony  against  them. 

10  10  But  into  whatsoever  city 
ye  shall  enter,  and  they  receive 
you  not,  go  out  into  the  streets 
thereof  and  say,  n  Even  the  dust 
from  your  city,  that  cleaveth  to 
our  feet,  we  wipe  off  against  you  : 
nevertheless  know  this,  that  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh. 
12 1  say  unto  you,  It  shall  be  more 
tolerable  in  that  day  for  Sodom, 
than  for  that  city. 

3  Go  your  ways  ;  behold,  I  send 
you  forth  as  lambs  in  the  midst 
of  wolves. 


Woes  Upon  the  Galilean  Cities. 


XI:  20-24. 

20  Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the 
cities  wherein  most  of  his  "mighty 
works  were  done,  because  they 
repented  not. 

21  Woe  unto  there,  Chorazin ! 
woe  unto  thee,  Bethsaida !  for  if 
the  mighty  works  had  been  done 
in  Tyre  and  Sidon  which  were 
done  in  you,  they  would  have  re-

and  Sidon  in  the  judg- 

ment, than  for  you.  15  And  thou,

pented  long   ago  in  sackcloth    and 

ashes.     22  But  I   say   unto  you,  it 

shall   be  more  tolerable  for  Tyre 

and    Sidon    in    the    day  of  judg- 
ment, than  for  you.     2SAnd  thou, 

Capernaum,  shalt  thou  be  exalted 

unto  heaven  ?  thou  shalt  *  go  down 

unto    Hades :  for    if   the    mighty 

works    had  been    done    in  Sodom 

which  were  done  in  thee,  it  would 

have    remained    until    this     day. 

24  But  I  say  unto  you  that  it  shall 

be  more  tolerable  for  the  land   of 

Sodom    in    the  day  of  judgment, 

than  for  thee. 

16  He  that  heareth  you  heareth 
me  ;  and  he  that  rejecteth  you  re- 
jecteth  me ;  and  he  that  rejecteth 
me  rejecteth  him  that  sent  me. 

Prediction  of  the  Disciples'  Fate, 

X:  17-25.  XII:  11,  12. 

17  But  beware  of  men  :  for  they 
will  deliver  you  up  to  councils, 
and  in  their  synagogues  they  will 
scourge  you  ;  18yea  and  before 
governors  and  kings  shall  ye  be 
brought  for  my  sake,  for  a  testi- 
mony to  them  and  to  the  Gentiles. 
19  But  when  they  deliver  you  up, 
be  not  anxious  how  or  what  ye 
shall  speak :  for  it  shall  be  given 
you  in  that  hour  what  ye  shall 
speak.  20  For  it  is  not  ye  that 
speak,  but  the  Spirit  of  your 
Father  that  speaketh  in  you.  21And 
brother  shall  deliver  up  brother  to 
death,  and  the  father  his  child : 
and  children  shall  rise  up  against 
parents,  and  *  cause  them  to  be 
put  to  death.  22And  ye  shall  be 
hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's 
sake :  but  he  that  endureth  to  the 
end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 
23  But  when  they  persecute  you  in 
this  city,  flee  into  the  next :  for 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not 
have  gone  through  the  cities  of 
Israel,  till  the  Son  of  man  be 
come. 

24 A  disciple  is  not  above  his 
teacher,  nor  a  "servant  above  his 
lord.  ^  It  is  enough  for  the  dis- 
ciple that  he  be  as  his  teacher,  and 
the  servant  as  his  lord.  If  they 
have  called  the  master  of  the 
house  *  Beelzebub,  how  much 
more  them  of  his  household  ! 


11  And  when  they  bring  you  be- 
fore the  synagogues,  and  the  rulers, 
and  the  authorities,  be  not  anxious 
how  or  what  ye  shall  answer,  or 
what  ye  shall  say  :  i2  for  the  Holy 
Spirit  shall  teach  you  in  that  very 
hour  what  ye  ought  to  say.

Summons  to  Fearless  Confession. 


X:  26-33. 

26  Fear  them  not  therefore  :  for 
there  is  nothing  covered,  that 
shall  not  be  revealed ;  and  hid, 
that  shall  not  be  Known. 

»  What 
I  tell  you  in  the  darkness,  speak 
ye  in  the  light ;  and  what  ye  hear 
in  the  ear,  proclaim  upon  the 
house-tops. 

28  And  be  not  afraid 
of  them  that  kill  the  body,  but 
are  not  able  to  kill  the  soul : 

but 
rather  fear  him  who  is  able  to 
destroy  both  soul  and  body  in 
*  hell. 

29  Are  not  two  sparrows 
sold  for  a  penny  ?  and  not  one  of 
them  shall  fall  on  the  ground 
without  your  Father :  30  but  the 
very  hairs  of  your  head  are  all 
numbered.  sl  Fear  not  therefore  : 
ye  are  of  more  value  than  many 
sparrows.  32  Every  one  therefore 
who  shall  confess  "me  before  men, 
"him  will  I  also  confess  before  my 
Father  wTho  is  in  heaven.  ^  But 
whosoever  shall  deny  me  before 
men,  him  will  I  also  deny  before 
my  Father  who  is  in  heaven. 


XII:  2-9. 

2  But  there  is  nothing  covered 
up,  that  shall  not  be  revealed  : 
and  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known. 
6  Wherefore  whatsoever  ye  have 
said  in  the  darkness  shall  be  heard 
in  the  light ;  and  what  ye  have 
spoken  in  the  ear  in  the  inner 
chambers  shall  be  proclaimed  upon 
the  house-tops.  4  And  I  say  unto 
you  my  friends,  Be  not  afraid  of 
them  that  kill  the  body,  and  after 
that  have  no  more  that  they  can 
do.  5But  I  will  warn  you  whom 
ye  shall  fear :  Fear  him,  who 
after  he  hath  killed  hath  *  power 
to  cast  into  *  hell ;  yea,  I  say  unto 
you,  Fear  him.  6  Are  not  five 
sparrows  sold  for  two  pence  ?  and 
not  one  of  them  is  forgotten  in  the 
sight  of  God.  7  But  the  very 
hairs  of  your  head  are  all  num- 
bered. Fear  not :  ye  are  of  more 
value  than  many  sparrows.  8And 
I  say  unto  you,  Every  one  who 
shall  confess  *me  before  men, 
*  him  shall  the  Son  of  man  also 
confess  before  the  angels  of  God  : 
9  but  he  that  denieth  me  in  the 
presence  of  men  shall  be  denied 
in  the  presence  of  the  angels  of 
God. 


Discord  Among  Neighbors. 

X:  34-36.  XII:  51- 


34  Think  not  that  I  came  to  "send 
peace  on  the  earth  :  I  came  not  to 
*  send  peace,  but  a  sword.  ^  For 
I  came  to  set  a  man  at  variance 
against  his  father,  and  the  daugh- 
ter against  her  mother,  and  the 
daughter  in  law  against  her  mother 
in  law:  ^and  a  man's  foes  shall 
be  they  of  his  own  household. 


sl Think  ye  that  I  am  come  to  give 
peace  in  the  earth  ?  I  tell  you,  Nay; 
but  rather  division  :  62  for  there  shall 
be  from  henceforth  five  in  one 
house  divided,  three  against  two, 
and  two  against  three.  53  They  shall 
be  divided,  father  against  son,  and 
son  against  father  ;  mother  against 
daughter,  and  daughter  against 
her  mother  ;  mother  in  law  against 
her  daughter  in  law,  and  daughter 
in  law  against  her  mother  in  law. 


Conditions  of  Discipleship.

39  He  that  *findeth  his  life  shall 
lose  it ;  and  he  that  *  loseth  his  life 
for  my  sake  shall  find  it. 

40  He  that  receiveth  you  receiv- 
eth  me,  and  he  that  receiveth  me 
receiveth  him  that  sent  me.  4l  He 
that  receiveth  a  prophet  in  the  name 
of  a  prophet  shall  receive  a  proph- 
et's reward  :  and  he  that  receiveth 
a  righteous  man  in  the  name  of  a 
righteous  man  shall  receive  a  right 
eous man's  reward.  ®  And  whoso 
ever  shall  give  to  drink  unto  one 
of  these  little  ones  a  cup  of  cold 
water  only,  in  the  name  of  a  dis- 
ciple, verily  I  say  unto  you  he 
shall  in  no  wise  lose  his  reward. 

Another  Preaching  Tour. 

XI:   1.

Jesus  had  finished  commanding  his 
twelve  disciples,  he  departed 
thence  to  teach  and  preach  in 
their  cities. 


and  sisters,  yea,  and  his  own  life 
also,  he  cannot  be  my  disciple. 
27  Whosoever  doth  not  bear  his 
own  cross,  and  come  after  me, 
cannot  be  my  disciple. 

Caution  Against  Entering 
Discipleship  Unadvisedly. 

XIV:  28-33. 

28  For  which  of  you,  desiring  to 
build  a  tower,  doth  not  first  sit 
down  and  count  the  cost,  whether 
he  have  wherewith  to  complete 
ii?  23Lest  haply,  when  he  hath 
laid  a  foundation,  and  is  not  able 
to  finish,  all  that  behold  begin  to 
mock  him,  30  saying,  This  man  be- 
gan to  build,  and  was  not  able  to 
finish.  31  Or  what  king,  as  he 
goeth  to  encounter  another  king  in 
war,  will  not  sit  down  first  and 
take  counsel  whether  he  is  able 
with  ten  thousand  to  meet  him  that 
cometh  against  him  with  twenty 
thousand?  320r  else,  while  the 
other  is  yet  a  great  way  off,  he 
sendeth  an  ambassage,  and  asketh 
conditions  of  peace.  -^So  there- 
fore whosoever  he  be  of  you  that 
renounceth  not  all  that  he  hath, 
he  cannot  be  my  disciple.

throughout  the  villages,  preaching 
the    gospel,    and    healing    every-

VI:  14-16. 

14  And  king  Herod  heard  thereof; 
for  his  name  had  become  known  : 
and  *  he  said,  John  the  Baptizer  is 
risen  from  the  dead,  and 
therefore  do  these  powers  work  in 
him.  1δ  But  others  said,  It  is  Elijah. 
And  others  said,  //  is  a  prophet, 
even  as  one  of  the  prophets.  16  But 
Herod,  when  he  heard  thereof, 
said,  John,  whom  I  beheaded,  he 
is  risen. 


Herod's  Opinion  of  Jesus. 

XIV:  1-2. 

*At  that  season  Herod  the 
tetrarch  heard  the  report  concern- 
ing Jesus,  2and  said  unto  his 
servants,  This  is  John  the  Baptist ; 
he  is  risen  from  the  dead ;  and 
therefore  do  these  powers  work  in 
him. 


IX:  7-9. 

7  Now  Herod  the  tetrarch  heard 
of  all  that  was  done ;  and  he  was 
much  perplexed,  because  that  it  was 
said  by  some,  that  John  was  risen 
from  the  dead ;  8  and  by  some, 
that  Elijah  had  appeared ;  and  by 
others,  that  one  of  the  old  proph- 
ets was  risen  again.  9And  Herod 
said,  John  I  beheaded :  but  who 
is  this,  about  whom  I  hear  such 
things  ?  And  he  sought  to  see  him. 


The  Episode  of  the  Baptist's  Death. 


VI:  17-29. 


17  For  Herod  himself  had  sent 
forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John, 
and  bound  him  in  prison  for  the 
sake  of  Herodias,  his  brother 
Philip' s  wife  ;  for  he  had  married 
her.  18  For  John  said  unto  Herod, 
It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have 
thy  brother' s  wife.  19  And  Hero- 
dias set  herself  against  him,  and 
desired  to  kill  him ;  and  she  could 
not ;  20  for  Herod  feared  John, 
knowing  that  he  was  a  righteous 
and  holy  man,  and  kept  him  safe. 
And  when  he  heard  him,  he  *  was 
much  perplexed ;  and  he  heard 
him  gladly.  21  And  when  a  con- 
venient day  was  come,  that  Herod 
on  his  birthday  made  a  supper  to 
his  lords,  and  the  :'high  captains, 
and  the  chief  men  of  Galilee ; 
22  and  when  *  the  daughter  of  He- 
rodias herself  came  in  and  danced, 
*  she  pleased  Herod  and  them  that 
sat  at  meat  with  him ;  and  the 
king  said  unto  the  damsel,  Ask  of 
me  whatsoever  thou  wilt,  and 
I  will  give  it  thee.  23And  he 
sware  unto  her,  Whatsoever  thou 
shalt  ask  of  me,  I  will  give  it 
thee,  unto  the  half  of  my  king- 
dom. 24And  she  went  out,  and 
said  unto  her  mother,  What  shall 
I  ask?  And  she  said,  The  head 
of  John  the  Baptizer.  25  And  she 
came  in  straightway  with  haste 
unto  the  king,  and  asked,  saying, 
I  will  that  thou  forthwith  give  me 
on  a  platter  the  head  of  John  the 
Baptist.  26  And  the  king  was  ex- 
ceeding sorry ;  but  for  the  sake 
of  his  oaths,  and  of  them  that  sat 


XIV:  3-12. 

3  For  Herod  had  laid  hold  on 
John,  and  bound  him,  and  put  him 
in  prison  for  the  sake  of  Herodias, 
his   brother    Philip's   wife. 

4  For  John  said  unto  him, 
It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have 
her. 


5  And  when 
he  would  have  put  him  to  death, 
he  feared  the  multitude,  because 
they  counted  him  as    a  prophet. 


6  But  when  Herod' s  birthday  came, 


the  daughter  of  Herodias  danced 
in  the  midst,  and  pleased  Herod. 
7  Whereupon  he  promised  with  an 
oath  to  give  her  whatsoever  she 
should  ask. 


8  And  she,  being  put 
forward    by    her    mother,    saith, 

Give   me    here   on    a    platter  the 
head  of  Tohn  the  Baptist. 

9And 
the  king  was  grieved ;  but  for 
the  sake  of  his  oaths,  and  of  them 


III :  19,  20. 

19  But  Herod  the  tetrarch,  be- 
ing reproved  by  him  for  Herodias 
his  brother's  wife,  and  for  all  the 
evil  things  which  Herod  had  done, 
20  added  this  also  to  them  all,  that 
he  shut  up  John  in  prison. 


Mark. 

at  meat,  he  would  not  reject  her. 
27  And  straightway  the  king  sent 
forth  a  soldier  of  his  guard,  and 
commanded  to  bring  his  head  :  and 
he  went  and  beheaded  him  in  the 
prison,  ^and  brought  his  head  on 
a  platter,  and  gave  it  to  the  dam- 
sel ;  and  the  damsel  gave  it  to  her 
mother.  29And  when  his  disci- 
ples heard  thereof,  they  came  and 
took  up  his  corpse,  and  laid  it  in 
a  tomb.

30  And  the  apostles  gather  them- 
selves together  unto  Jesus  ;  and 
they  told  him  all  things,  whatso- 
ever they  had  done,  and  whatso- 
ever they  had  taught.

commanded  it  to  be  given  ;  10and 
he  sent  and  beheaded  John  in  the 
prison.  n  And  his  head  was 
brought  on  a  platter,  and  given  to 
the  damsel :  and  she  brought  it  to 
her  mother.     12And    his  disciples 

came,  and  took  up  the  corpse, 
and  buried  him ;  and  they  went 
and  told  Jesus.

9  10And  the  apostles,  when 
they  were  returned,  declared  unto 
him  what   things   they  had  done. 


10  17And  the  seventy  returned 
with  joy,  saying,  Lord,  even  the 
demons  are  subject  unto  us  in  thy 
name.  18  And  he  said  unto  them, 
I  beheld  Satan  fallen  as  lightning 
from  heaven.  19  Behold,  I  have 
given  you  authority  to  tread  upon 
serpents  and  scorpions,  and  over 
all  the  power  of  the  enemy  :  and 
nothing  shall  in  any  wise  hurt  you. 
20  Nevertheless  in  this  rejoice  not, 
that  the  spirits  are  subject  unto 
you ;  but  rejoice  that  your  names 
are  written  in  heaven. 


Acclamation . 


XI:  25-27. 


25  At  that  season  Jesus  answered 
and    said,  I 

"thank  thee,  Ο  Father,  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  that  thou  didst 
hide  these  things  from  the  wise 
and  understanding,  and  didst  re- 
veal them  unto  babes: 26  yea,  Father, 
;:  for  so  it  was  well-pleasing  in 
thy  sight.  Ώ  All  things  have  been 
delivered  unto  me  of  my  Father  : 
and  no  one  knoweth  the  Son,  save 
the  Father ;  neither  doth  any  know 
the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he 
to  whomsoever  the  Son  willeth  to 
reveal  him. 

"Come  Unto  Me."

X :   21,  22. 


21  In  that  same  hour  he  rejoiced 
*in  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  said,  I 
"thank  thee,  Ο  Father,  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  that  thou  didst 
hide  these  things  from  the  wise

VI:  31-44. 
31  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Come  ye  yourselves  apart  into  a 
desert  place,  and  rest  awhile.  For 
there  were  many  coming  and  go- 
ing, and  they  had  no  leisure  so 
much  as  to  eat.  32  And  they  went 
away  in  the  boat  to  a  desert  place 
apart.  33  And  the  people  saw  them 
going,  and  many  knew  them,  and 
they  ran  together  there  *on  foot 
from  all  the  cities,  and  outwent 
them.  34  And  he  came  forth  and 
saw  a  great  multitude,  and  he  had 
compassion  on  them,  because  they 
were  as  sheep  not  having  a  shep- 
herd :  and  he  began  to  teach  them 
many  things.  35  And  when  the 
day  was  now  far  spent,  his  disci- 
ples came  unto  him,  and  said,  The 
place  is  desert,  and  the  day  is  now 
far  spent  :  s6  send  them  away,  that 
they  may  go  into  the  country  and 
villages  round  about,  and  buy 
themselves  somewhat  to  eat. 
37  But  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And 
they  say  unto  him,  Shall  we  go 
and  buy  two  hundred  "shillings' 
worth  of  bread,  and  give  them  to 
eat  ?  ^  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
How  many  loaves  have  ye  ?  go  and 
see.  And  when  they  knew,  they 
say,  Five,  and  two  fishes. 

39  And 
he  commanded  them  that  all 
should  *sit  down  by  companies 
upon  the  green  grass.  40And 
they  sat  down  in  ranks,  by  hun- 
dreds, and  by  fifties.  41  And  he  took 
the  five  loaves  and  two  fishes, 
and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
blessed,  and  brake  the  loaves ;  and 
he  gave  to  the  disciples  to  set 
before  them  ;  and  the  two  fishes 
divided  he  among  them  all.  42  And 
they  all  ate,  and  were  filled. 
43  And   they  took   up 

broken 
pieces,  twelve  basketfuls,  and  also 
of  the  fishes.  44  And  they  that  ate 
the  loaves  were  five  thousand  men.

burden  is  light. 

Feeding  the  Fine  Thousand. 
XIV:  13-21. 


Luke. 


13  Now  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he 
withdrew  from  thence  in  a  boat, 
to  a  desert  place  apart :  and  when 
the  multitudes  heard  thereof,  they 
followed  him  *on  foot  from  the 
cities. 

14  And  he  came  forth,  and 
saw  a  great  multitude,  and  he  had 
compassion  on  them,  and  healed 
their  sick. 

15  And  when  even  was 
come,  the  disciples  came  to  him, 
saying, 

The  place  is  desert,  and 
the  time  is  already  past ;  send  the 
multitudes  away,  that  they  may 
go  into  the  villages,  and  buy  them- 
selves food.  16  But  Tesus  said  unto 
them,  They  have  no  need  to  go 
away  ;  give  them  to  eat. 


17  And 
they  say  unto  him,  We  have  here 
but  five  loaves,  and  two  fishes. 
18  And  said,  Bring  them  hither  to 
me. 

19  And  he  commanded  the 
multitudes  to  *  sit  down  on  the 
grass; 

and  he  took 
the  five  loaves,  and  the  two  fishes, 
and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
blessed,  and  brake  and  gave  the 
loaves  to  the  disciples,  and  the 
disciples  to  the  multitudes. 

2»  And 
they  all  ate,  and  were  filled : 
and  they  took  up  that  which 
remained  over  of  the  broken 
pieces,  twelve  baskets  full. 

21  And  they  that  did  eat 
were  about  five  thousand  men,  be- 
sides women  and  children. 


IX:   104-17. 


And  he  took  them,  and  with- 
drew apart  to  a  city  called  Beth- 
saida. 

11  But  the  multitudes  per- 
ceiving it .  followed  him  :  and  he 
welcomed  them,  and  spake  to  them 
of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  them 
that  had  need  of  healing  he  cured. 


12  And  the  day  began  to  wear 
away ;  and  the  twelve  came,  and 
said  unto  him,  Send  the  multitude 
away,  that  they  may  go  into  the 
villages  and  country  round  about, 
and  lodge,  and  get  provisions : 
for  we  are  here  in  a  desert  place. 

13  But  he  said  unto  them, 

Give  ye  them  to  eat. 


And  they  said,  We 
have  no  more  than  five  loaves  and 
two  fishes ;  except  we  should  go 
and  buy  food  for  all  this  people. 
14  For  they  were  about  five  thou- 
sand men.  And  he  said  unto  his 
disciples,  Make  them  ::i  sit  down 
in  companies,  about  fifty  each. 
16  And  they  did  so,  and  made 
them  all  *  sit  down.  16  And  he  took 
the  five  loaves  and  the  two  fishes, 
and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
blessed  them,  and  brake ;  and  gave 
to  the  disciples  to  set  before  the 
multitude. 

"  And 
they  ate,  and  were  all  filled: 
and  there  was  taken  up  that  which 
remained  over  to  them  of  broken 
pieces,  twelve  baskets.

Walking  on 

VI :  45-52. 
45  And  straightway  he  con- 
strained his  disciples  to  enter  into 
the  boat,  and  to  go  before  him 
unto  the  other  side  to  Bethsaida, 
while  he  himself  sendeth  the  mul- 
titude away.  46  And  after  he  had 
taken  leave  of  them,  he  departed 
into  the  mountain  to  pray.  47  And 
when  even  was  come,  the  boat 
was  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  and 
he  alone  on  the  land.  4S  And 
seeing  them  distressed  in  rowing, 
for  the  wind  was  contrary  unto 
them,  about  the  fourth  watch  of 
the  night  he  cometh  unto  them, 
walking  on  the  sea  ;  and  he  would 
have  passed  by  them  :  49  but  they, 
when  they  saw  him  walking  on 
the  sea,  supposed  that  it  was  a 
ghost,  and  cried  out  ;  50  for  they 
all  saw  him,  and  were  troubled. 
But  he  straightway  spake  with 
them,  and  saith  unto  them,  Be  of 
good  cheer:  it  is  I :  be  not  afraid. 


61  And  he  went  up  unto  them  into 
the  boat ;  and  the  wind  ceased : 
and  they  were  sore  amazed  in 
themselves  ;  52  for  they  understood 
not  concerning  the  loaves,  but 
their  heart  was  hardened.

the  Water. 

XIV:  22-33. 
MAnd  straightway  he  con- 
strained the  disciples  to  enter  into 
the  boat,  and  to  go  before  him 
unto  the  other  side,  till  he  should 
send  the  multitudes  away.  23  And 
after  he  had  sent  the  multitudes 
away,  he  went  up  into  the  moun- 
tain apart  to  pray  : 

and  when  even 
was  come,  he  was  there  alone.  24But 
the  boat  "was  now  in  the  midst 
of-  the  sea,  distressed  by  the  waves  ; 
for  the  wind  was  contrary.  25  And 
in  the  fourth  watch  of  the  night 
he  came  unto  them,  walking  upon 
the  sea.  26And  when  the  disci- 
ples saw  him  walking  .on  the  sea, 
they  were  troubled,  saying,  It  is 
a  ghost ;  and  they  cried  out  for 
fear. 

27  But  straightway  Jesus 
spake  unto  them,  saying,  Be  of 
good  cheer  ;  it  is  I  ;  be  not  afraid. 

28  And  Peter  answered  him  and 
said,  Lord,  if  it  be  thou,  bid  me 
come  unto  thee  upon  the  waters. 

29  And  he  said,  Come.  And  Peter 
went  down  from  the  boat,  and 
walked  upon  the  waters  *  to  come 
to  Jesus.  30But  when  he  saw  the 
*  wind,  he  was  afraid ;  and  be- 
ginning to  sink,  he  cried  out, 
saying,  Lord,  save  me.  31  And 
immediately  Jesus  stretched  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  hold  of  him, 
and  saith  unto  him,  Ο  thou  of  little 
faith,  wherefore  didst  thou  doubt? 

32  And  when  they  were  gone  up 
into   the    boat,  the    wind   ceased. 

33  And  they  that  were  in  the  boat 
'"worshipped  him,  saying,  Of  a 
truth  thou  art  the  Son  of  God.

Concerning  the  Washing  of  Hands. 
VII:  1-23.  XV:  1-20. 


*And  there  are  gathered  to- 
gether unto  him  the  Pharisees, 
and  certain  of  the  scribes,  who 
had  come  from  Jerusalem,  2and 
had  seen  that  some  of  his  disci- 
ples ate  their  bread  with  "defiled, 
that  is,  unwashen,  hands.  3(For 
the  Pharisees,  and  all  the  Jews, 
except  they  wash  their  hands  *  dil- 
igently, eat  not,  holding  the  tradi- 
tion of  the  elders  ;  4and  when 
they  come  from  the  market-place, 
except  they  "bathe  themselves, 
they  eat  not ;  and  many  other 
things  there  are,  which  they  have 
received  to  hold,  "washings  of 
cups,  and  pots,  and  brasen  ves- 
sels.") 6And  the  Pharisees  and 
the  scribes  ask  him,  Why  walk  not 
thy  disciples  according  to  the  tra- 
dition of  the  elders,  but  eat  their 
bread  with  defiled  hands? 


«And 
he  said  unto  them,  Well  did  Isaiah 
prophesy  of  you  hypocrites,  as  it 
is  written, 

"This  people  honoreth  me  with 
their  lips, 
But  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 
7  But  in  vain  do  they  worship  me, 
Teaching  as  their  doctrines  the 
precepts  of  men. 
8  Ye  leave   the   commandment    of 
God,    and   hold  fast   the   tradition 
of  men.     9  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Full  well  do  ye   reject   the  com- 
mandment of   God,  that   ye  may 
keep  your  tradition.     10  For  Moses 
said,  *  Honor  thy  father  and    thy 
mother ;   and,    He    that    speaketh 
evil  of  father  or  mother,  let  him

a  man    shall   say  to   his  father  or 
his  mother,  That  where  with  thou

saying, 


2  Why  do  thy  disciples 
transgress  the  tradition  of  the  eld- 
ers ?  for  they  wash  not  their  hands 
when  they  eat  bread.  3And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  do  ye  also  transgress  the 
commandment  of.  God  because  of 
your  tradition? 

7  Ye  hypocrites,  well  did  Isaiah 
prophesy  of  you,  saying, 

8  "This  people  honoreth  me  with 
their  lips  ; 
But  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 
9  But  in  vain  do  they  worship  me, 
Teaching  as  their  doctrines  the 
precepts  of  men. 


*  For  God 
said,  *  Honor  thy  father  and  thy 
mother :  and,  "'  He  that  speaketh 
evil  of  father  or  mother,  let  him 
"die  the  death.  5But  ye  say,  Who- 
soever shall  say  to  his  father  or 
his  mother,  That  wherewith  thou

is  Corban,  that  is  to  say,  Given  to 
God ;  12  ye  no  longer  suffer  him  to 
do  aught  for  his  father  or  his 
mother;  IS  making  void  the,  word 
of  God  by  your  tradition,  which 
ye  have  delivered  :  and  many  such 
like  things  ye  do.  14  And  he  called 
to  him  the  multitude  again,  and 
said  unto  them,  Hear  me  all  of 
you,  and  understand  ;  ls  there  is 
nothing  from  without  the  man, 
that  going  into  him  can  defile 
him ;  but  the  things  which  pro- 
ceed out  of  the  man  are  those  that 
defile  the  man." 


17  And  when  he 
was  entered  into  the  house  from  the 
multitude,  his  disciples  asked  of 
him  the  parable.  18  And  he  saith 
unto  them,  Are  ye  so  without  un- 
derstanding also?  Perceive  ye 
not,  that  whatsoever  from  without 
goeth  into  the  man,  it  cannot  de- 
file him  ;  19  because  it  goeth  not 
into  his  heart,  but  into  his  belly, 
and  goeth  out  into  the  draught  ? 
This  he  said,  making  all  meats 
clean.  20  And  he  said,  That 
which  proceedeth  out  of  the  man, 
that  defileth  the  man.  21  For 
from  within,  out  of  the  heart  of 
men,  *  evil  thoughts  proceed,  for- 
nications, thefts,  murders,  adul- 
teries, 22  covetings,  wickednesses, 
deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil  eye, 
railing,  pride,  foolishness:  23all 
these  evil  things  proceed  from

And  ye  have  made  void  the  *  word 
of  God  because  of  your  tradition. 


10  And  he  called  to  him  the  multi- 
tude, and  said  unto  them,  Hear, 
and  understand  :  n  Not  that  which 
entereth  into  the  mouth  defileth 
the  man ;  but  that  which  pro- 
ceedeth out  of  the  mouth,  this 
defileth  the  man.  12Then  came 
the  disciples,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that  the  Pharisees 
were  *  offended,  when  they  heard 
this  saying  ?  13  But  he  answered 
and  said,  Every* plant  which  my 
heavenly  Father  planted  not,  shall 
be  rooted  up.  u  Let  them  alone  : 
they  are  blind  guides.  And  if  the 
blind  guide  the  blind,  both  shall 
fall  into  a  pit. 

15  And  Peter  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,  De- 
clare unto  us  the  parable.  16  And  he 
said,  Are  ye  also  even  yet  without 
understanding  ?  17  Perceive  y  e 
not,  that  whatsoever  goeth  into 
the  mouth  passeth  into  the  belly, 
and  is  cast  out  into  the  draught  ? 


18  But  the  things  which  proceed 
out  of  the  mouth  come  forth  out 
of  the  heart  ;  and  they  defile  the 
man.  19  For  out  of  the  heart 
come  forth  evil  thoughts,  murders, 
adulteries,  fornications,  thefts, 
false  witness,  railings : 


20  these  are 
the  things  which  defile  the  man  ; 
but  to  eat  with  unwashen  hands 
defileth  not  the  man.

The  Canaanitish  Woman. 


VII:  24-30. 
24  And  from  thence  he  arose, 
and  went  away  into  the  borders  of 
Tyre  ::  and  Sidon.  And  he  entered 
into  a  house,  and  would  have  no 
man  know  it ;  and  he  could  not 
be  hid.  26  But  straightway  a 
woman,  whose  little  daughter  had 
an  unclean  spirit, 


having  heard  of 
him,  came  and  fell  down  at  his 
feet.  26  Now  the  woman  was  a 
*  Greek,  a  Syrophcenician  by  race. 
And  she  besought  him  that  he 
would  cast  forth  the  demon  out  of 
her  daughter.  27  And  he  said  unto 
her,  Let  the  children  first  be 
filled :  for  it  is  not  meet  to  take 
the  children' s  *  bread  and  cast  it 
to  the  dogs.  28  But  she  answered 
and  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord  ; 
even  the  dogs  under  the  table  eat 
of  the  children's  crumbs.  ^And 
he  said  unto  her,  For  this  saying 
go  thy  way  ;  the  demon  is  gone 
out  of  thy  daughter.  30  And  she 
went  away  unto  her  house,  and 
found  the  child  laid  upon  the  bed, 
and  the  demon  gone  out. 


XV:  21-28. 

2^And  Jesus  went  out  thence, 
and  withdrew  into  the  parts  of 
Tyre  and  Sidon.  22And  behold, 
a  Canaanitish  woman  came  out 
from  those  borders,  and  cried, 
saying,  Have  mercy  on  me,  Ο 
Lord,  thou  son  of  David ;  my 
daughter  is  grievously  vexed  with 
a  demon.  ^  But  he  answered  her 
not  a  word.  And  his  disciples 
came  and  besought  him,  saying, 
Send  her  away ;  for  she  crieth 
after  us.  ^But  he  answered  and 
said,  I  was  not  sent  but  unto  the 
lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel. 
25  But  she  came  and  "worshipped 
him. 


saying,   Lord,  help  me. 

26  And  he  answered  and  said, 
It  is  not  meet  to  take 
the  children's  "bread  and  cast  it 
to  the  dogs.  27But  she  said, 
Yea,  Lord :  for  even  the 
dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs  which  fall 
from  their  masters'  table.  28  Then 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her, 
Ο  woman,  great  is  thy  faith  :  be  it 
done  unto  thee  even  as  thou  wilt. 
And  her  daughter  was  healed  from 
that  hour.

31  And  again  he  went  out  from 
the  borders  of  Tyre,  and  came 
through  Sidon  unto  the  sea  of  Gali- 
lee, through  the  midst  of  the  borders 
of  Decapolis.  S2  And  they  bring 
unto  him  one  that  was  deaf,  and 
had  an  impediment  in  his  speech  ; 
and  they  beseech  him  to  lay  his 
hand  upon  him.  ^  And  he  took 
h  i  m  aside  from  the  multitude 
privately,  and  put  his  fingers  into 
his  ears,  and  he  spat,  and  touched 
his  tongue;  ^and  looking  up  to 
heaven,  he  sighed,  and  saith  unto 
him,  Ephphatha,  that  is,  Be

tongue  was  loosed,  and  he  spake

mountain,  and  sat  there.  3°  And 
there  came  unto  him  great  multi- 
tudes, having  with  them  the  lame,

others,  and  they  cast  them  down 
at  his  feet ;  and  he  healed  them :

that  they  should  tell  no  man  ;  but 
the  more  he  charged  them,  so 
much  the  more  a  great  deal  they 
published  it.  37  And  they  were 
beyond  measure  astonished,  say- 
iug,  He  hath  done  all  things  well : 
he  maketh  even  the  deaf  to  hear,

wondered,  when  they  saw  the

the  God  of  Israel. 


The  Feeding  of  the  Four  Thousand. 


VIII:  1-10. 
1  In  those  days,  when  there  was 
again  a  great  multitude,  and  they 
had  nothing  to  eat,  he  called  unto 
him  his  disciples  and  saith  unto 
them,  2  I  have  compassion  on  the 
multitude,  because  they  continue 
with  me  now  three  days,  and  have 
nothing  to  eat  :  3and  if  I  send 
them  away  fasting  to  their  home, 
they  will  faint  on  the  way ;  and 
some  of  them  are  come  from  far. 
4  And  his  disciples  answered  him, 
Whence  shall  one  be  able  to  fill 
these  men  with  "bread  here  in  a 
desert  place  ?  δ  And  he  asked 
them, 

How  many  loaves  have  ye  ? 
And  they  said,  Seven.  6And  he 
commandeth  the  multitude  to  sit 
down  on  the  ground ;  and  he 
took  the  seven  loaves,  and  having 
given  thanks,  he  brake  and  gave  to 
his  disciples,  to  set  before  them ;  and 
they  set  them  before  the  multitude. 
7  And  they  had  a  few  small  fishes  ; 
and  having  blessed  them,  he  com- 
manded to  set  these  also  before 
them.  8And  they  ate,  and  were 
filled  :  and  they  took  up,  of  broken 
pieces  that  remained  over,  seven 
baskets.  9And  they  were  about 
four  thousand  :  and  he  sent  them 
away.  10  And  straightway  he  en- 
tered into  the  boat  with  his  dis- 
ciples, and  came  into  the  parts 
of  Dalmanutha. 


XV  :  32-39. 


32 And    Jesus    called    unto 
him  his  disciples,  and  said, 

I  have  compassion  on  the 
multitude,  because  they  continue 
with  me  now  three  days  and  have 
nothing  to  eat:  and  I  would  not  send 
them  away  fasting,  lest  haply  they 
faint  on  the  way. 

33  And   the  disciples  say  unto  him, 

Whence  should  we  have 
so  many  loaves  in  a  desert  place 
as  to  fill    so   great    a   multitude  ? 

34  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  How 
many  loaves  have  ye  ?  And  they 
said,  Seven,  and  a  few  small  fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  multi- 
tude to   sit  down  on   the  ground  ; 

36  and  he  took  the  seven  loaves 
and  the  fishes ;  and  he  gave  thanks 
and  brake,  and  gave  to  the  dis- 
ciples, and  the  disciples  to  the 
multitudes. 


37  And  they  all  ate, 
and  were  filled  :  and  they  took  up 
that  which  remained  over  of  the 
broken  pieces,  seven  baskets  full. 
38  And  they  that  did  eat  were  four 
thousand  men,  besides  women 
and  children.  39And  he  sent 
away  the  multitudes,  and  entered 
into  the  boat,  and  came  into  the 
borders  of  Magadan.

the  morning,  It  will  be  foul  weather

lowering. 


Luke.

generation  seeketh  after  a  sign ; 
and  there  shall  no  sign  be  given 
unto    it,    but    the  sign    of   Jonah. 


54  And  he  said  to  the  multi- 
tudes also,  When  ye  see  a  cloud 
rising  in  the  west,  straightway  ye 
say,  There  cometh  a  shower ;  and 
so  it  cometh  to  pass.  55  And  when 
ye  see  a  south  wind  blowing,  ye 
say,  There  will  be  a  "scorching 
heat ;  and  it  cometh  to  pass. 
56  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  know  how  to

that  ye  know  not  how  to  *  inter-

Pharisees  and  the  leaven  of  Herod. 
16  And  they  reasoned  one  with  an- 
other, *  saying,  *We  have  no

VIII:  27-33. 


27  And  Jesus  went  forth,  and  his 
disciples,  into  the  villages  of 
Csesarea  Philippi  :  and  on  the  way 
he  asked  his  disciples,  saying  unto 
them,  Who  do  men  say  that  I 
am  ?  2s  And  they  told  him,  say- 
ing, John  the  Baptist ;  and  others, 
Elijah  ;  but  others,  One  of  the 
prophets.  29  And  he  asked 
them,  But  who  say  ye  that  I  am  ? 
Peter  answereth  and  saith  unto 
him,  Thou  art  the  Christ.

13  Now  when  Jesus  came  into

asked  his  disciples,  saying,  Who 
do  men  say  *  that  the  Son  of  man 
is  ?  14  And  they  said,  Some  say 
John  the  Baptist ;  some,  Elijah ; 
and  others,  Jeremiah,  or  one  of 
the  prophets.  15He  saith  unto 
them,  But  who  say  ye  that  I  am  ? 
16  And  Simon  Peter  answered  and 
said,  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son 
of  the  living  God.  17  And  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Blessed  art  thou,  Simon  Bar- 
Jonah  :  for  flesh  and  blood  hath 
not  revealed  it  unto  thee,  but  my 
Father  who  is  in  heaven.  18And

tudes say  that  I  am?  19And  they 
answering  said,  John  the  Baptist ; 
but  others  say,  Elijah  ;  and  others, 
that  one  of  the  old  prophets  is 
risen  again.  20And  he  said  unto 
them,  But  who  say  ye  that  I  am  ?

many  things,  and  be  rejected  by

and  whosoever  shall  lose  his  life 
for  my  sake  and  the  gospel's  shall 
save  it.  ^  For  what  doth  it  profit 
a    man  to 

gain  the  whole  world, 
and  forfeit  his  life  ?  &  For  what 
should  a  man  give  in  exchange  for 
his  life?  ^For  whosoever  shall 
be  ashamed  of  me  and  of  my 
words  in  this  adulterous  and  sinful 
generation,  the  Son  of  man  also 
snail  be  ashamed  of  him,  when  he 
cometh  in  the  glory  of  his  Father 
with  the  holy  angels. 


9  1  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
There  are  some  here  of  them  that 
stand  by,  who  shall  in  no  wise 
taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the 
kingdom  of  God  come  with  power. 


21  From  that  time  began  *  Jesus 
to  show  unto  his  disciples,  that  he 
must  go  unto  Jerusalem,  and  suffer 
many  things  of 

the   elders   and  chief  priests 

and  scribes,  and  be  killed,  and 
the  third  day  be  raised  up.    22And 

Peter  took  him,  and  began  to  re- 
buke him,  saying,  *Be  it  far  from 
thee,  Lord :  this  shall  never  be 
unto  thee.       2S  But  he  turned,  and 

said  unto  Peter,  Get  thee  behind 
me,  Satan  :  thou  art  a  stumbling- 
block  unto  me  :  for  thou  mindest  not 
the  things  of  God,  but  the  things 
of  men. 

The  Test  of  the  Discipleship. 

XVI:  24-28. 

24  Then  said  Jesus  unto  h  i  s 
disciples, 

If  any  man  would 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  him- 
self, and  take  up  his  cross, 
and  follow  me.  25  For  whosoever 
would  save  his  life  shall  lose  it ; 
and  whosoever  shall  lose  his  life 
for  my  sake  shall 

find   it.     26  For  what  shall 
a    man   be   profited,    if  he    shall 
gain    the  whole  world, 
and  forfeit   his  life  ?  or  what 

shall  a  man  give  in  exchange  for 
his  life? 


27  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come 
in  the  glory  of  his  Father  with  his 
angels  ;  and  then  shall  he  render 
unto  every  man  according  to  his 
*  deeds.  ffl  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
There  are  some  of  them  that 
stand  here,  who  shall  in  no  wise 
taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  Son 
of  man  coming  in  his  kingdom. 


21  But  he  charged  them,  and  com- 
manded them  to  tell  this  to  no  man  : 


-•'  saying, 

The  Son  of  man  must  suffer 
many  things,  and  be  rejected  of 
the    elders   and  chief  priests 

and         scribes,  and  be  killed,  and 
the  third  day  be  raised  up. 


IX:  23-27. 
23  And  he  said  unto  all, 

If  any  man  would 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  him- 
self, and  take  up  his  cross  daily, 
and  follow  me.  24For  whosoever 
would  save  his  life  shall  lose  it ; 
but  whosoever  shall  lcse  his  life 
for  my  sake,  the  same  shall 
save  it.  ib  For  what  is 
a   man         profited,    if    he 

gain  the  whole  world, 
and  lose  or  forfeit  his  own  self? 


26 For  whosoever  shall  be 
ashamed  of  me  and  of  my  words, 
of  him  shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in  his 
dwn  glory,  and  the  glory  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  holy  angels. 


27  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth, 
There  are  some  of  them  that 
stand  here,  who  shall  in  no  wise 
taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the 
kingdom  of  God.

2  And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh 
with  him  Peter,  and  James,  and 
John,  and  bringeth  them  up  into 
a  high  mountain  apart  by  them- 
selves :  and  he  was  transfigured 
before  them ;  3  and  his  garments  be- 
came glistering,  exceeding  white, 
so  as  no  fuller  on  earth  can  whiten 
them.  4  And  there  appeared  unto 
them  Elijah  with  Moses :  and  they 
were  talking  with  Jesus. 


5And  Peter  answereth  and  saith 
to  Jesus,  Rabbi,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here  :  and  let  us  make  three 
'"tabernacles ;  one  for  thee,  and  one 
for    Moses,    and    one    for    Elijah. 

6  For  he   knew    not  what   to   an- 
swer ;  for  they  became  sore  afraid. 

7  And    there  •  came  a  cloud    over- 
shadowing them : 

and  there  came 
a  voice  out  of  the  cloud, 
This  is  my  beloved  Son  : 

hear  ye  him 


8  And  suddenly  looking  round 
about,  they  saw  no  one  any  more, 
save  Jesus    only  with  themselves. 


The  Transfiguration. 
XVII:  1-8. 

1  And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh 
with  him  Peter,  and  James,  and 
John  his  brother,  and  bringeth  them 
up  into  a  high  mountain  apart : 
2  and  he  was  transfigured  before 
them  ;  and  his  face  did  shine  as 
the  sun,  and  his  garments  became 
white  as  the  light.  3  And  behold, 
there  appeared  unto  them  Moses 
and  Elijah  talking  with  him. 


4  And  Peter  answered,  and  said 
unto  Jesus,  Lord,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here  :  if  thou  wilt,  I  will 
make  here  three  *  tabernacles ;  one 
for  thee,  and  one  for  Moses,  and 
one  for  Elijah. 

5  While  he  was  yet 
speaking,  behold,  a  bright  cloud 
overshadowed   them :  and  behold, 

a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  saying, 
This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased ;  hear  ye  him. 
6  And  when  the  disciples  heard  it, 
they  fell  on  their  face,  and  were 
sore  afraid.  7  And  Jesus  came  and 
touched  them  and  said,  Arise,  and 
be  not  afraid.  8And  lifting  up 
their  eyes,  they  saw  no  one,  save 
Jesus  only.

IX:  9-13. 

9  And  as  they  were  coming  down 
from  the  mountain,  he  charged 
them  that  they  should  tell  no  man 
what  things  they  had  seen,  save 
when  the  Son  of  man  should  have 
risen  again  from  the  dead.  10And 
they  kept  the  saying,  questioning 
among  themselves  what  the  rising 
again  from  the  dead  should  mean. 
11  And  they  asked  him,  saying, 
"How  is  it  that  the  scribes  say  that

10  And  his  disciples  asked   him, 
ying,   Why  then  say  the  scribes 


IX:  28-36. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
eight  days  after  these  sayings,  that 
he  took  with  him  Peter  and  John 
and  James,  and  went  up  into  the 
mountain  to  pray.  29And  as  he 
was  praying,  the  fashion  of  his 
countenance  was  altered,  and  his 
raiment  became  white  and  dazzling. 
30  And  behold,  there  talked  with 
him  two  men,  who  were  Moses 
and  Elijah;  31who  appeared  in 
glory,  and  spake  of  his  *  decease 
which  he  was  about  to  accomplish 
at  Jerusalem.  32  Now  Peter  and 
they  that  were  with  him  were 
heavy  with  sleep  :  but  '"when  they 
were  fully  awake,  they  saw  his 
glory,  and  the  two  men  that  stood 
with  him.  33  And  it  came  to  pass, 
as  they  were  parting  from  him, 
Peter  said  unto  Jesus,  Master,  it 
is  good  for  us 

to  be  here  :  and  let 
us  make  three  *  tabernacles  ;  one 
for  thee,  and  one  for  Moses,  and 
one  for  Elijah  :  not  knowing  what 
he'  said.  34  And  while  he  said 
these  things,  there  came  a  cloud, 
and  overshadowed  them  :  and  they 
feared  as  they  entered  into  the 
cloud.  ^  And  a  voice  came  out 
of  the  cloud,  saying,  This  is  *  my 
Son,  my  chosen :  hear  ye  him. 


86 And  when  the  voice  '■'came, 
Jesus  was  found  alone.  And  they 
held  their  peace,  and  told  no  man 
in  those  days  any  of  the  things 
which  they  had  seen.

Mark. 


Elijah  must  first  come?  12  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Elijah  indeed 
cometh  first,  and  restoreth  all 
tilings :  and  how  is  it  written  of 
the  Son  of  man,  that  he  should 
suffer  many  things  and  be  set  at 
nought  ?  13  But  I  say  unto  you, 
that  Elijah  is  come,  and  they  have 
also  done  unto  him  whatsoever 
they  would,  even  as  it  is  written 
of  him. 


IX:  14-29. 

14  And  when  they  came  to  the 
disciples,  they  saw  a  great  multi- 
tude about  them,  and  scribes  ques- 
tioning with  them.  15  And  straight- 
way all  the  multitude,  when  they 
saw  him,  were  greatly  amazed, 
and  running  to  him  saluted  him. 
16  And  he  asked  them,  What  ques- 
tion ye  with  them?  17And  one 
of  the  multitude  answered  him, 
Teacher,  I  brought  unto  thee  my 
son,  who  hath  a  dumb  spirit ; 
15  and  wheresoever  it  taketh  him, 
it  *  dasheth  him  down :  and  he 
foameth,  and  grindeth  his  teeth, 
and  pineth  away  :  and  I  spake  to 
thy  disciples  that  they  should  cast 
it  out ;  and  they  were  not  able. 
19  And  he  answereth  them  and 
saith,  Ο  faithless  generation,  how 
long  shall  I  be  with  you?  how 
long  shall  I  bear  with  you?  bring 
him  unto  me.  20And  they  brought 
him  unto  him :  and  when  he  saw 
him,  straightway  the  spirit  ;:'tare 
him  grievously  ;  and  he  fell  on  the 
ground,  and  wallowed  foaming. 
21  And  he  asked  his  father,  How 
long  time  is  it  since  this  hath  come 
unto  him?  And  he  said,  From  a 
child.  22And  oft-times  it  hath  cast 
him  both  into  the  fire  and  into  the 
waters,  to  destroy  him ;  but  if 
thou  canst  do  anything,  have  com- 
passion on  us,  and  help  us.  23And 
Jesus  said  unto  him,  If  thou  canst ! 
All  things  are  possible  to  him  that 
believeth.  24  Straightway  the  father 
of  the  child  cried  out,  and  said,* 
I  believe  ;  help  thou  mine  unbe- 
lief. Μ  And  when  Jesus  saw  that 
a  multitude  came  running  together,

that  Elijah  must  first  come  ?  n  And 
he  answered  and  said,  Elijah  in- 
deed cometh,  and  shall  restore  all 
things  : 


12  but  I  say  unto  you 
that  Elijah  is  come  already,  and 
they  knew  him  not,  but  did  unto 
him  whatsoever  they  would.  Even 
so  shall  the  Son  of  man  also  suffer 
of  them.  13Then  understood  the 
disciples  that  he  spake  unto  them 
of  John  the  Baptist. 

The  Epileptic  Boy. 

XVII:   14-20  (21). 

14  And  when  they  were  come  to 
the  multitude, 


there  came  to  him 
a  man,  kneeling  to  him,  and  say- 
ing, 

15  Lord,  have  mercy  on  my 
son :  for  he  is  epileptic,  and  suf- 
fereth  grievously  ;  for  oft-times  he 
falleth  into  the  fire,  and  oft-times 
into  the  water. 

ltiAnd  I  brought 
him  to  thy  disciples,  and  they  could 
not  cure  him.  17And  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said,  Ο  faithless  and 
perverse  generation,  how  long 
shall  I  be  with  you?  how  long 
shall  I  bear  with  you  ?  bring  him 
hither  to  me.

IX  :  37-43  ;  XVII :  5,  6. 
9  37And  it  came  to  pass,  on  the 
next   day,  when  they   were  come 
down  from  the  mountain,  a  great 
multitude  met  him. 


38  And  behold, 
a  man  from  the  multitude  cried, 
saying,  Teacher,  I  beseech  thee 
to  look  upon  my  son ;  for  he  is 
mine  only  child  :  39and  behold,  a 
spirit  taketh  him,  and  he  suddenly 
crieth  out ;  and  it  *  teareth  him 
that  he  foameth.  and  it  hardly  de- 
parteth  from  him,  bruising  him 
sorely. 

40  And  I  besought  thy 
disciples  to  cast  it  out ;  and  they 
could  not.  41  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said,  Ο  faithless  and  perverse 
generation,  how  long  shall  I  be 
with  you,  and  bear  with  you? 
bring  hither  thy  son.  42And  as 
he  was  yet  a  coming,  the  demon 
*  dashed  him  down,  and  *tare  him 
grievously.

he  rebuked  the  unclean  spirit,  say- 
ing unto  him,  Thou  dumb  and 
deaf  spirit,  I  command  thee,  come 
out  of  him,  and  enter  no  more 
into  him.  26And  having  cried 
out,  and  torn  him  much,  he  came 
out :  and  the  boy  became  as  one 
dead ;  insomuch  that  the  more 
part  said,  He  is  dead.  27  But 
Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand,  and 
raised  him  up  :  and  he  arose. 


28  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  house,  his  disciples  asked  him 
privately,  *  How  is  it  that  we  could 
not  cast  it  out? 


29  And  he  said  unto 
them,  This  kind  can  come  out  by 
nothing,  save  by  prayer.*

18  And  Jesus  rebuked  him  ;

and  the 


demon  went  out  of  him  : 


and  the  boy 
was  cured  from  that  hour. 


19  Then 
came  the  disciples  to  Jesus  apart, 
and  said,  Why  could  not  we  cast 
it  out?  20  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Because  of  your  little  faith :  for 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  If  ye  have 
faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
ye  shall  say  unto  this  mountain, 
Remove  hence  to  yonder  place ; 
and  it  shall  remove  ;  and  nothing 
shall  be  impossible  unto  you. 


But  Jesus  rebuked  the   unclean 
spirit, 


and  healed  the  boy,  and  gave 
him  back  to  his  father.  43And 
they  were  all  astonished  at  the  ma- 
jesty of  God. 


17  5And  the  apostles  said  unto 
the  Lord,  Increase  our  faith.  6  And 
the  Lord  said,  If  ye  had  faith  as 
a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  ye  would 
say  unto  this  sycamine  tree,  Be 
thou  rooted  up,  and  be  thou 
planted  in  the  sea  ;  and  it  would 
obey  you.

Prophecy  of  His  Own  Martyrdi 

XVII  :  22,  23. 


30  And  they  went  forth  from 
thence,  and  passed  through  Gali- 
lee; and  he  would  not  that  any 
man  should  know  it.  31  For  he 
taught  his  disciples,  and  said  unto 
them,  The  Son  of  man  is  :?  deliv- 
ered up  into  the  hands  of  men; 
and  they  shall  kill  him ;  and  when 
he  is  killed,  after  three  days  he 
shall  rise  again.  32  But  they 
understood   not    the    saying,    and 


were  afraid  to  ask  him. 


22 And    while    they    "abode    in 
Galilee,    Jesus    said    unto    them, 


The  Son  of  man  shall  be  *  deliv- 
ered up  unto  the  hands  of  men  ; 
23  and  they  shall  kill  him,  and  the 
third  day  he  shall  be  raised  up. 
And  they   were  exceeding    sorry.

XVII:  24-27. 
24  And  when  they  were  come  to 
Capernaum,  they  that  received  the 
*  half-shekel  came  to  Peter,  and 
said,  Doth  not  your  teacher  pay 
the  half- shekel?  ^He  saith, 
Yea.  And  when  he  came  into 
the  house,  Jesus  spake  first  to  him, 
saying,  What  thinkest  thou,  Si- 
mon ?  the  kings  of  the  earth,  from 
whom  do  they  receive  toll  or  trib- 
ute?   from    their    sons,     or    from 


IX:  43^-45. 
43  But  while  all  were  marvelling 
at  all  the  things  which  he  did,   he 
said  unto  his  disciples, 

44  Let  these 
words  sink  into  your  ears :  for 
the  Son  of  man  shall  be  *  deliv- 
ered  up  into  the   hands  of  men. 


45  But  they 
understood  not  this  saying,  and 
it  was  concealed  from  them,  that 
they  should  not  perceive  it; 
and  they  were  afraid  to  ask  him 
about  this  saying.

From  strangers,  Jesus  said  unto 
him.  Therefore  the  sons  are  free.

ble, go  thou  to  the  sea,  and  cast 
a  hook,  and  take  up  the  fish  that 
first  cometh  up ;  and  when  thou 
hast  opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt

IX:  33-37. 

33  And  they  came  to  Capernaum  : 
and  when  he  was  in  the  house  he 
asked  them,  What  were  ye  reason- 
ing on  the  way  ?  34  But  they  held 
their  peace  :  for  they  had  disputed 
one  with  another  on  the  way,  who 
was  the  *  greatest.  35And  he 
sat  down,  and  called  the  twelve ; 
and  be  saith  unto  them,  If  any 
man  would  be  first,  he  shall  be 
last  of  all,  and  *  servant  of  all. 
36  And  he  took  a  little  child, 
and  set  him  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  taking  him  in  his  arms  he  said 
unto  them, 


37  Whosoever  shall  receive 
one  of  such  little  children  in  my 
name,  receiveth  me  :  and  whoso- 
ever receiveth  me,  receiveth  not 
me,  but  him  that  sent  me. 


The  Contention  About  Rank. 

XVIII:  1-5. 

1In  that  hour  came  the  disci- 
ples unto  Jesus,  saying,  Who  then 
is  "greatest  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  ? 


2  And  he  called  to  him  a  little  child, 
and  set  him  in  the  midst  of  them, 

3  and  said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Except  ye  turn,  and  become  as 
little  children,  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

4  Whosoever  therefore  shall  humble 
himself  as  this  little  child,  the  same 
is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  5And  whoso  shall  receive 
one  such  little  child  in  my 
name  receiveth  me. 


IX:  46-48. 

46 And  there  arose  a  "reasoning 
among  them,  which  of  them  was 
the  *  greatest.  47  But  when  Jesus 
saw  the   reasoning  of  their  heart, 


he  took  a  little  child, 
and  set  him  by  his  side,  4gand  said 
unto  them, 


Whosoever  shall  receive 
this  little    child    in    my 

name  receiveth  me  :  and  whoso- 
ever shall  receive  me  receiveth  him 
that  sent  me  :  for  he  that  is  least 
among  you  all,  the  same  is  great. 


The  Strange   Wonderworker. 


IX:  38-41. 

38  John  said  unto  him, 
Teacher,  we  saw  one  casting  out 
demons  in  thy  name ;  and  we  for- 
bade him,  because  he  followed  not 
us.  39  But  Jesus  said,  Forbid  him 
not :  for  there  is  no  man  who  shall 
do  a  *  mighty  work  in  my  name, 
and  be  able  quickly  to  speak  evil  of 
me.  40  For  he  that  is  not  against 
us  is  for  us.  41For  whosoever 
shall  give  you  a  cup  of  water  to 
drink,  "because  ye  are  Christ's, 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  he  shall  in 
no  wise  lose  his  reward. 


IX:  49,  50. 

49  And  John  answered  and  said, 
Master,  we  saw  one  casting  out 
demons  in  thy  name  ;  and  we  for- 
bade him,  because  he  followeth  not

him,  Forbid  him  not  :

you  is  for  you.

Vi  And  whosoever  shall  cause  one 
of  these  little  ones  that  believe 
*  on  me  to  stumble,  it  were  better 
for  him  if  *a  great  millstone  were 
hanged  about  his  neck,  and 
he  were  cast  into  the  sea. 


«And  if 
thy  hand  cause  thee  to  stumble, 
cut  it  off :  it  is  good  for  thee  to 
enter  into  life  maimed,  rather  than 
having  thy  two  hands  to  go  into 
;:'  hell,  into  the  unquenchable  fire.* 
46  And  if  thy  foot  cause  thee  to 
stumble,  cut  it  off :  it  is  good  for 
thee  to  enter  into  life  halt,  rather 
than  having  thy  two  feet  to  be  cast 
into  hell.  47And  if  thine  eye 
cause  thee  to  stumble,  cast  it  out : 
it  is  good  for  thee  to  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God  with  one  eye, 
rather  than  having  two  eyes  to  be 
cast  into  hell ;  48  where  their  worm 
dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not 
quenched. 

A  Simile  Concerning  Salt. 

IX :  49,  SO. 
49  For  every  one  shall  be  salted 
with  fire.*  60Salt  is  good;  but 
if  the  salt  have  lost  its  saltness, 
wherewith  will  ye  season  it  ?  Have 
salt  in  yourselves,  and  be  at  peace 
one  with  another. 


Concerning    Offences. 

XVIII  :  6-9. 


8 But  whoso  shall  cause  one 
of  these  little  ones  that  believe 
on  me  to  stumble,  it  is  profitable  for 
him  that  *a  great  millstone  should 
be  hanged  about  his  neck,  and 
that  he  should  be  sunk  in  the 
depth  of  the  sea. 

7  Woe  unto  the  world  because  of 
occasions  of  stumbling !  for  it 
must  needs  be  that  the  occasions 
come  ;  but  woe  to  that  man  through 
whom  the  occasion  cometh  !  fcAnd 
if  thy  hand  or  thy  foot  causeth 
thee  to  stumble,  cut  it  off,  and 
cast  it  from  thee :  it  is  good  for  thee 
to  enter  into  life  maimed  or  halt, 
rather  than  having  two  hands  or  two 
feet  to  be  cast  into  the  eternal  fire. 


9  And  if  thine  eye  causeth  thee  to 
stumble,  pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it 
from  thee  ;  it  is  good  for  thee  to 
enter  into  life  with  one  eye,  rather 
than  having  two  eyes  to  be  cast 
into  the  ::=  hell  of  fire. 


XVII  :  1,  2. 

1  And  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 
It  is  impossible  but  that  occa- 
sions of  stumbling  should  come  ; 
but  woe  unto  him,  through  whom 
they  come!  2  It  were  well 
for  him  if  a  millstone  were 
hanged  about  his  neck,  and 
he  were  thrown  into  the  sea, 
rather  than  that  he  should  cause 
one  of  these  little  ones  to 
stumble. 


God's  Solicitude  for  a  Single  Soul. 

XVIII:   10-14.  XV  :   1-10. 

10  See  that  ye  despise  not  one  of 
these  little  ones  :  for  I  say  unto 
you,  that  in  heaven  their  angels 
do  always  behold  the  face  of  my 
Father  who  is  in  heaven.*

think  ye?  if  any  man  have  a  hun-

iNow  all  the  publicans  and 
sinners  were  drawing  near  unto 
him  to  hear  him.  2  And  both  the 
Pharisees  and  the  scribes  mur- 
mured, saying,  This  man  receiveth 
sinners,  and  eateth  with  them. 

3  And  he  spake  unto  them  this 
parable,  saying,  4  What  man  of 
you,  having  a  hundred  sheep,  and 
having  lost  one  of  them,  doth  not

ninety  and  nine,  and  go  unto  the 
mountains,  and  seek  that  which 
goeth  astray?  13And  if  so  be 
that  he  find  it,  verily  I  say  unto 
you,  he  rejoiceth  over  it  more  than 
over  the  ninety  and  nine  which 
have  not  gone  astray. 


14  Even  so 
it  is  not  "the  will  of  :::your  Father 
who  is  in  heaven,  that  one  of 
these  little  ones  should  perish. 


Luke. 

leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in  the 
wilderness,  and  go  after  that  which 
is  lost,  until  he  find  it  ?  6  And 
when  he  had  found  it,  he  lay  it  on 
his  shoulders,  rejoicing.  6And 
when  he  cometh  home,  he  calleth 
together  his  friends  and  his  neigh- 
bors, saying  unto  them,  Rejoice 
with  me,  for  I  have  found  my 
sheep  which  was  lost.  7 1  say 
unto  you,  that  even  so  there  shall 
be  joy  in  heaven  over  one  sinner 
that  repenteth,  more  than  over 
ninety  and  nine  righteous  persons, 
who  need  no  repentance. 

8  Or  what  woman  having  ten 
•'pieces  of  silver,  if  she  lose  one 
piece,  doth  not  light  a  lamp,  and 
sweep  the  house,  and  seek  dili- 
gently until  she  find  it?  9And 
when  she  hath  found  it,  she  call- 
eth together  her  friends  and  neigh- 
bors, saying,  Rejoice  with  me,  for 
I  have  found  the  piece  which  I 
had  lost.  10Fven  so,  I  say  unto 
you,  there  is  joy  in  the  presence 
of  the  angels  of  God  over  one 
sinner  that  repenteth. 


Fraternal  Obligation. 


XVIII:  15-20. 

15  And  if  thy  brother  sin  :|:against 
thee,  go,  show  him  his  fault  be- 
tween thee  and  him  alone  :  if  he 
hear  thee,  thou  hast  gained  thy 
brother.  16  But  if  he  hear  thee 
not,  take  with  thee  one  or  two 
more,  that  at  the  mouth  of  two 
witnesses  or  three  every  wrord  may 
be  established.  17And  if  he  re- 
fuse to  hear  them,  tell  it  unto  the 
*  church :  and  if  he  refuse  to  hear 
the  church  also,  let  him  be  unto 
thee  as  the  Gentile  and  the  publi- 
can. 18  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
What  things  soever  ye  shall  bind 
on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven  ; 
and  what  things  soever  ye  shall 
loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in 
heaven.  19  Again  I  say  unto  you, 
that  if  two  of  you  shall  agree  on 
earth  as  touching  anything  that 
they  shall  ask,  it  *  shall  be  done 
for  them  of  my  Father  who  is  in 
heaven.  20  For  where  two  or 
three  are  gathered  together  in  my 
name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of 
them.

Concerning  the  Forgiving  Spirit. 


XVIII :  21,  22. 
21  Then  came  Peter  and  said  to 
him,  Lord,  how  oft  shall  my 
brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  for- 
give him?  until  seven  times? 
22  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not 
unto  thee,  Until  seven  times ;  but, 
Until  *  seventy  times  seven. 

The  Parable  of  the  Wicked 
Servant. 

XVIII:  23-35. 
23  Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  likened  unto  a  certain  king, 
who  would  make  a  reckoning  with 
his  "servants.  24And  when  he 
had  begun  to  reckon,  one  was 
brought  unto  him,  that  owed  him 
ten  thousand  *  talents.  25  But  for- 
asmuch as  he  had  not  wherewith 
to  pay,  his  lord  commanded  him 
to  be  sold,  and  his  wife,  and  chil- 
dren, and  all  that  he  had,  and 
payment  to  be  made.  26  The  serv- 
ant therefore  fell  down  and  wor- 
shipped him,  saying,  Lord,  have 
patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay 
thee  all.  » And  the  lord  of  that 
servant,  being  moved  with  com- 
passion, released  him,  and  forgave 
him  the  *debt.  2SBut  that  serv- 
ant went  out,  and  found  one  of  his 
fellow-servants,  who  owed  him  a 
hundred  *  shillings :  and  he  laid 
hold  on  him,  and  took  him  by  the 
throat,  saying,  Pay  what  thou 
owest.  29So  his  fellow-servant 
fell  down  and  besought  him,  say- 
ing, Have  patience  with  me,  and 
I  will  pay  thee.  30  And  he  would 
not :  but  went  and  cast  him  into 
prison,  till  he  should  pay  that 
which  was  due.  31  So  when  his 
fellow-servants  saw  what  was  done, 
they  were  exceeding  sorry,  and 
came  and  told  unto  their  lord  all 
that  was  done.  32Then  his  lord 
called  him  unto  him,  and  saith  to 
him,  Thou  wicked  servant,  I  for- 
gave thee  all  that  debt,  because 
thou  besoughtest  me  :  s3  shouldest 
not  thou  also  have  had  mercy  on 
thy  fellow-servant,  even  as  I  had 
mercy  on  thee?  34And  his  lord 
was  wroth,  and  delivered  him  to 
the  tormentors,  till  he  should  pay 
all  that  was  due.     3!jSo  shall  also

The  Journey  Toward  Judea.

cometh  into  the  borders  of  Judcea 
and  beyond  the  Jordan  ;  and  mul- 
titudes come  together  unto  him 
again  ;  and,  as  he  was  wont,  he 
taught  them  again. 


XIX:  1,  2. 
1And  it  came  to  pass  when 
Jesus  had  finished  these  words, 
he  departed  from  Galilee,  and 
came  into  the  borders  of  Judrea 
beyond  the  Jordan ;  2  and  great 
multitudes  followed  him ;  and  he 
healed  them  there.

Departure  from  Galilee. 

XIII:  31-33. 

31  In  that  very  hour  there  came 
certain  Pharisees,  saying  to  him, 
Get  thee  out,  and  go  hence :  for 
Herod  would  fain  kill  thee.  32And 
he  said  unto  them,  Go  and  say  to 
that  fox,  Behold,  I  cast  out  de- 
mons and  perform  cures  to-day 
and  to-morrow,  and  the  third  day 
I  *am  perfected.  3s  Nevertheless 
I  must  go  on  my  way  to-day  and 
to-morrow  and  the  day  following : 
for  it  cannot  be  that  a  prophet 
perish  out  of  Jerusalem. 


The  Inhospitable  Samari- 
tans. 

IX:  51-56. 
51  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  days  "were  well-nigh  come 
that  he  should  be  received  up,  he 
stedfastly  set  his  face  to  go  to 
Jerusalem,  and  sent  messengers 
before  his  face  :  52  and  they  went, 
and  entered  into  a  village  of  the 
Samaritans,  to  make  ready  for 
him.  δ3  And  they  did  not  receive 
him,  because  his  face  was  as 
though  he  were  going  to  Jerusa- 
lem. 54And  when  his  disciples 
James  and  John  saw  this,  they 
said,  Lord,  wilt  thou  that  we  bid 
fire  to  come  down  from  heaven, 
and  consume  them  ?*  S5  But  he 
turned,  and  rebuked  them.*  86And 
they  went  to  another  village.

IX:  57-62. 

57  And  as  they  went  on  the  way, 
a  certain  man  said  unto  him,  I

disciples  said  unto  him,  Lord,  suf-

him,  Follow  me  ;  and  leave  the

another,  Follow  me.  But  he  said, 
Lord,  suffer  me  first  to  go  and 
bury  my  father.  6°  But  he  said 
unto  him,  Leave  the  dead  to  bury 
their  own  dead ;  but  go  thou  and 
publish  abroad  the  kingdom  of 
God.  61And  another  also  said, 
I  will  follow  thee,  Lord ;  but  first 
suffer  me  to  bid  farewell  to  them 
that  are  at  my  house.  62  But  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  No  man,  having 
put  his  hand  to  the  plow,  and 
looking  back,  is  fit  for  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

The  Ministering  Women. 

VIII:  1-3. 
1  And  it  came  to  pass  soon  after- 
wards, that  he  went  about  through 
cities  and  villages,  preaching  and 
bringing  the  good  tidings  of  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  with  him 
the  twelve,  2and  certain  women 
who  had  been  healed  of  evil 
spirits  and  infirmities  :  Mary  that  _gn  «^ 
was  called  Magdalene,  from  whom  « 

seven  demons  had  gone  out,  3and  pSjfisJ 
Joanna  the  wife  of  Chuza  Herod' s 
steward,   and  Susanna,  and  many 
others,  who  ministered  unto  *  them 
of  their  substance. 

Mary  and  Martha. 

X:  38-42. 

38  Now  as  they  went  on  their 
way,  he  entered  into  a  certain  vil- 
lage :  and  a  certain  woman  named 
Martha  received  him  into  her 
house.  S9And  she  had  a  sister 
called  Mary,  who  also  sat  at  the 
Lord's  feet,  and  heard  his  word. 
40  But  Martha  was  "cumbered  about 
much  serving ;  and  she  came  up 
to  him,  and  said,  Lord,  dost  thou 
not  care  that  my  sister  did  leave 
me  to  serve  alone  ?  bid  her  there- 
fore that  she  help  me.  a  But  the 
Lord  answered  and  said  unto  her, 
*  Martha,  Martha,  thou  art  anx- 
ious and  troubled  about  many 
things  :  ^  *  but  one  thing  is  need- 
ful :  for  Mary  hath  chosen  the 
good  part,  which  shall  not  be 
taken  away  from  her.

The  Pharisees'  Question  About  Divorce. 


X:  2-12. 

2  And  there  came  unto  him  Phar- 
isees,  and  asked  him,  Is  it 
lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his 
wife?  trying  him. 

3  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  *  What  did  Moses 
command  you?  4And  they  said, 
Moses  suffered  to  write  a  bill  of 
divorcement,  and  to  put  her  away. 
5  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  For 
your  hardness  of  heart  he  wrote 
you  this  commandment.  6But 
from  the  beginning  of  the  creation, 
Male  and  female  made  he  them. 

Tor  this  cause  shall  a  man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  "and 
shall  cleave  to  his  wife  ;  8  and  the 
two  shall  become  one  flesh :  so 
that  they  are  no  more  two,  but 
one  flesh.  9What  therefore  God 
hath  joined  together,  let  not  man 
put  asunder. 


10  And  in  the  house  the  disciples 
asked  him  again  of  this  matter. 
11  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife,  and 

marry  another,  committeth  adul- 
tery against  her  :  1,and  if  she  her- 
self sh.vll  put  away  her  husband, 
and  marry  another,  she  committeth 
adultery. 


XIX:  3-12. 

3  And  there  came  unto  him  "Phar- 
isees, trying  him,  and  saying,  Is  it 
lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his 
wife  for  every  cause  ? 

4  And   he  answered   and    said, 


Have  ye  not  read,  "that  he  who 
*made  them  from  the  beginning 
made  them  male  and  female,  5and 
said,  *For  this  cause  shall  a  man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
shall  cleave  to  his  wife  ;  and  the 
two  shall  become  one  flesh  ?  6  So 
that  they  are  no  more  two,  but 
one  flesh.  What  therefore  God 
hath  joined  together,  let  not  man 
put  asunder.  '  They  say  unto 
him,  *Why  then  did  Moses  com- 
mand to  give  a  bill  of  divorce- 
ment, and  to  put  her  away  ?  8  He 
saith  unto  them,  Moses  for  your 
hardness  of  heart  suffered  you  to 
put  away  your  wives :  but  from 
the  beginning  it  hath  not  been  so. 


9  And  I  say  unto  you,  Who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife, 
"except  for  fornication,  and  shall 
marry  another,  committeth  adul- 
tery :  "'  and  he  that  marrieth  her 
when  she  is  put  away 

committeth 
adultery. 

10  The  disciples  say  unto 
him,  If  the  case  of  the  man  is  so 
with  his  wife,  it  is  not  expedient 
to  marry.  n  But  he  said  unto 
them,  Not  all  men  can  receive 
this  saying,  but  they  to  whom  it 
is  given.  12For  there  are  eu- 
nuchs, that  were  so  born  from  their 
mother's  womb;  and  there  are 
eunuchs,  that  were  made  eunuchs 
by  men  :  and  there  are  eunuchs, 
that  made  themselves  eunuchs  for 
the  kingdom  of  heaven's  sake. 
He  that  is  able  to  receive  it,  let 
him  receive  it.

18  And  they  were  bringing  unto 
him  little  children,  that  he  should

rebuked  them.  14  But  when  Jesus 
saw  it,  he  was  moved  with  indig 
nation,  and  said  unto  them,  Suf- 
fer the  little  children  to  come  unto 
me  ;  forbid  them  not :  for  *  to  such

and  the  disciples  rebuked  them.

Suffer  the  little 
children,  and  forbid  them  not,  to 
come  unto  me :  for  *  to  such  be- 
longeth   the  kingdom  of  heaven.

and  departed  thence.

him  also  their  babes,  that  he  should

16  But  Jesus  called 
them  unto  him,  saying,  Suffer  the 
little  children  to  come  unto  me, 
and  forbid  them  not :  for  *  to  such 
belongeth  the  kingdom  of  God. 
17  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whoso-

Jesus  and  the  Rich  Young  Ruler. 


X:  17-31. 


17  And  as  he  was  going  forth 
*  into  the  way,  there  ran  one  to  him, 
and  kneeled  to  him,  and  asked 
him,  Good  Teacher,  what  shall  I 
do  that  I  may  inherit  eternal  life? 
18  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Why 
callest    thou    me    good? 

none    is 
good  save  one,  even  God.   19Thou 

knowest  the  commandments, 

*Do 
not  kill,  Do  not  commit  adultery, 

Do  not  steal,  Do  not  bear  false 
witness,  Do  not  defraud,  Honor 
thy  father  and  mother. 

20  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Teacher,  all  these 
things  have  I  observed  from  my 
youth.  21And  Jesus  looking  upon 
him  loved  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
One  thing  thou  lackest :  go,  sell 
whatsoever  thou  hast,  and  give  to 
the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
treasure  in  heaven :  and  come, 
follow  me.  22  But  his  countenance 
fell  at  the  saying,  and  he  went 
away  sorrowful :  for  he  was  one 
that  had  great  possessions. 

23  And  Jesus  looked  round  about, 
and  saith  unto  his  disciples,  How 
hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God  ! 
24  And  the  disciples  were  amazed 
at  his  words.  But  Jesus  answer- 
eth   again,    and    saith   unto   them, 


XIX:  16-30. 

16  And  behold,  one  came  to  him 
and  said, 

'"Teacher,  what  good  thing  shall  I 
do,  that  I  may  have  eternal  life? 
17  And  he  said  unto  him,  *Why 
askest  thou  me  concerning  that 
which  is  good  ?  One  there  is  who  is 
good  :  but  if  thou  wouldest  enter 
into  life,  keep  the  commandments. 
1S  He  saith  unto  him,    Which  ? 

And  Jesus  said, 
"Thou  shalt  not  kill,  Thou  shalt 
not  commit  adultery,  Thou  shalt 
not  steal,  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false 
witness,  19  Honor  thy  father  and 
thy  mother;  and,  "Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself. 
20  The  young  man  saith  unto  him, 
All  these  things  have  I  observed  : 
what  lack  I  yet  ?  21  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  wouldest  be 
perfect,  go,  sell 

that  which  thou  hast,  and  give  to 
the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
treasure  in  heaven  :  and  come, 
follow  me.  22  But  when  the  young 
man  heard  the  saying,  he  went 
away  sorrowful ;  for  he  was  one 
that  had  great  possessions. 

23  And  Jesus  said  unto  his  disci- 
ples, Verily  I  say  unto  you,  It  is 
hard  for  a  rich  man  to  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  heaven, 


XVIII:  18-30;  XXII:  28-30. 

18  18  And  a  certain  ruler  asked 
him,  saying, 

Good  Teacher,  what  shall  I 
do  to  inherit  eternal  life? 
19  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Why 
callest    thou    me   good? 

none  is 
good,  save  one,  even  God.  20  Thou 
knowest  the  commandments, 

*Do 

not  commit  adultery,  Do  not  kill, 

Do  not  steal,  Do  not  bear  false 
witness,  Honor  thy  father  and 
mother. 

21  And  he  said,  All  these 
things  have  I  observed  from  my 
youth  up.  22  And  when  Jesus 
heard  it,  he  said  unto  him,  One 
thing  thou  lackest  yet :  sell  all 
that  thou  hast,  and  distribute  unto 
the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
treasure  in  heaven :  and  come, 
follow  me.  23  But  when  he  heard 
these  things,  he  became  exceeding 
sorrowful  ;  for  he   was  very  rich. 

24  And  Jesus  seeing  him  said, 

How 
hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches 
enter   into  the    kingdom  of  God  !

Mark. 


Children,  how  hard  is  it  *  for  them 
that  trust  in  riches  to  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God !  25  It  is 
easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  a 
needle's  eye,  than  for  a  rich  man 
to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 
26And  they  were  astonished  ex- 
ceedingly, saying  *unto  him, 

Then  who  can  be  saved  ? 
27  Jesus  look- 
ing upon  them  saith,  With  men  it 
is  impossible,  but  not  with  God : 
for  all  things  are  possible  with 
God.  w  Peter  began  to  say  unto 
him,  Lo,  we  have  left  all,  and  have 
followed  thee. 


29  Jesus  said,  Ver- 
ily I  say  unto  you,  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  left  house,  or  breth- 
ren, or  sisters,  or  mother,  or  father, 
or  children,  or  lands,  for  my  sake, 
and  for  the  *  gospel' s  sake,  so  but  he 
shall  receive  a  hundredfold  now  in 
this  time,  houses,  and  brethren, 
and  sisters,  and  mothers,  and  chil- 
dren, and  lands,  with  persecutions  ; 
and  in  the  *  world  to  come  eternal 
life.  31But  many  that  are  first 
snail  be  last ;  and  the  last  first. 


Matthew. 


24  And  again  I  say  unto  you,  It  is 
easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  a 
needle's  eye,  than  for  a  rich  man 
to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

25  And  when  the  disciples  heard  it, 
they  were  astonished  exceedingly, 
saying,   Who  then  can   be  saved? 

26  And  Jesus  looking  upon  them 
said  to  them,  With  men  this  is 
impossible ;  but  with  God  all 
things  are  possible.  27Then  an- 
swered Peter  and  said  unto  him, 
Lo,  we  have  left  all,  and  followed 
thee ;  what  then  shall  we  have  ? 
28  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Ver- 
ily I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  who 
have  followed  me,  in  the  regenera- 
tion when  the  Son  of  man  shall 
sit  on  the  throne  of  his  glory, 
ye  also  shall  sit  upon  twelve 
thrones,  judging  the  twelve  tribes 
of  Israel. 

29And  every  one  that  hath  left 
houses,  or  brethren,  or  sisters,  or 
father,  or  mother,  :'or  children, 
or    lands,    for    my   name's    sake, 

shall  receive  *a  hundredfold,  and 


shall  inherit  eternal  life.  30But 
many  shall  be  last  that  are  first ; 
and  first  that  are  last. 


Luke. 


25  For  it  is  easier 
for  a  camel  to  enter  in  through  a 
needle's  eye,  than  for  a  rich  man 
to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 
26And 
they  that  heard  it  said, 

Then  who  can  be  saved? 

27  But  he  said, 
The  things  which  are  impossible 
with  men  are  possible  with  God. 
28  And  Peter  said,  Lo,  we  have 
left  *  our  own,  and  followed  thee. 

22  28  But  ye  are  they  that  have 
continued  with  me  in  my  tempta- 
tions ;  29  and  *  I  appoint  unto  you 
a  kingdom,  even  as  my  Father 
appointed  unto  me,  30  that  ye  may 
eat  and  drink  at  my  table  in  my 
kingdom ;  and  ye  shall  sit  on 
thrones  judging  the  twelve  tribes 
of  Israel. 

18  29And  he  said  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  left  house,  or  wife, 
or  brethren,  or  parents,  or  children, 
for  the  kingdom  of  God's  sake, 
30  who  shall  not  receive  mani- 
fold more  in  this  time, 


and  in  the 
;  world  to  come  eternal  life. 


The  Parable  of  the  Unjust 
Steward. 

XVI:  1-12. 
1And  he  said  also  unto  the  dis- 
ciples, There  was  a  certain  rich 
man,  who  had  a  steward ;  and 
the  same  was  accused  unto  him 
that  he  was  wasting  his  goods. 
2  And  he  called  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  What  is  this  that  I  hear  of 
thee?  render  the  account  of  thy 
stewardship  ;  for  thou  canst  be  no 
longer  steward.  3  And  the  stew- 
ard said  within  himself,  What  shall  I 
do,  seeing  that  my  lord  taketh  away 
the  stewardship  from  me  ?  I  have 
not  strength  to  dig  ;  to  beg  I  am 
ashamed.  4 1  am  resolved  what 
to  do,  that,  when  I  am  put  out  of 
the  stewardship,  they  may  receive 
me  into  their  houses.  sAnd  call- 
ing to  him  each  one  of  his  lord's

debtors,  he  said  to  the  first,  How 
much  owest  thou  unto  my  lord? 
6  And  he  said,  A  hundred  *  meas- 
ures of  oil.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Take  thy  *  bond,  and  sit  down 
quickly  and  write  fifty.  7Then 
said  he  to  another,  And  how  much 
owest  thou  ?  And  he  said,  A  hun- 
dred measures  of  wheat.  He 
saith  unto  him,  Take  thy  bond,  and 
write  fourscore.  8  And  his  lord 
commended  *  the  unrighteous  stew- 
ard because  he  had  done  wisely  : 
for  the  sons  of  this  *  world  are  for 
their  own  generation  wiser  than  the 
sons  of  the  light.  9  And  I  say 
unto  you,  Make  to  yourselves 
friends  *by  means  of  the  mam- 
mon of  unrighteousness ;  that, 
when  it  shall  fail,  they  may  receive 
you  into  the  eternal  tabernacles. 
10  He  that  is  faithful  in  a  very  little 
is  faithful  also  in  much  :  and  he 
that  is  unrighteous  in  a  very  little 
is  unrighteous  also  in  much.  n  If 
therefore  ye  have  not  been  faithful 
in  the  unrighteous  mammon,  who 
will  commit  to  your  trust  the  true 
riches?  12And  if  ye  have  not 
been  faithful  in  that  which  is  an- 
other's, who  will  give  you  that 
which  is  *your  own? 

Condemnation  of  Jewish 
Presumption. 

XVI:  14,  15. 
14  And  the  Pharisees,  who  were 
lovers  of  money,  heard  all  these 
things;  and  they  scoffed  at  him. 
15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are 
they  that  justify  yourselves  in  the 
sight  of  men ;  but.  God  knoweth 
your  hearts:  for  that  which  is 
exalted  among  men  is  an  abomina- 
tion in  the  sight  of  God. 

Dives  and  Lazarus. 

XVI:  19-31. 
19 Now  there  was  a  certain  rich 
man,  and  he  was  clothed  in  pur- 
ple and  fine  linen,  *  faring  sumptu- 
ously every  day  :  20  and  a  certain 
beggar  named  Lazarus  was  laid  at 
his  gate,  full  of  sores,  21  and  de- 
siring to  be  fed  with  the  crumbs 
that  fell  from  the  rich  man's  table  ; 
yea,  even  the  dogs  came  and  licked 
his  sores.  22  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  the  beggar  died,  and  that  he

Parable  of  the  Laborers 
in  the  Vineyard. 

XX:  1-16. 
JFor  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
like  unto  a  man  that  was  a  house- 
holder, who  went  out  early  in  the 
morning  to  hire  laborers  into  his 
vineyard.  2And  when  he  had 
agreed  with  the  laborers  for  a  *  shil- 
ling a  day,  he  sent  them  into  his 
vineyard.  3  And  he  went  out  about 
the  third  hour,  and  saw  others 
standing  in  the  marketplace  idle; 
4  and  to  them  he  said,  Go  ye  also 
into  the  vineyard,  and  whatsoever 
is  right  I  will  give  you.  And  they 
went  their  way.  5  Again  he  went 
about  the  sixth  and  the  ninth 
hour,  and  did  likewise.  6And 
about  the  eleventh  hour  he  went 
out,  and  found  others  standing ; 
and   he    saith    unto   them,    Why 


Luke. 

was  carried  away  by  the  angels 
into  Abraham's  bosom :  and  the 
rich  man  also  died,  and  was  buried. 
23  And  in  Hades  he  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  being  in  torments,  and  seeth 
Abraham  afar  off,  and  Lazarus  in 
his  bosom.  24  And  he  cried  and 
said,  Father  Abraham,  have  mercy 
on  me,  and  send  Lazarus,  that  he 
may  dip  the  tip  of  his  finger  in 
water,  and  cool  my  tongue  ;  for  I 
am  in  anguish  in  this  flame.  25  But 
Abraham  said,  *Son,  remember 
that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  receivedst 
thy  good  things,  and  Lazarus  in 
like  manner  evil  things :  but  now 
he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art  in 
anguish.  26  And  *  besides  all  this, 
between  us  and  you  there  is  a 
great  gulf  fixed,  that  they  that 
would  pass  from  hence  to  you 
may  not  be  able,  and  that  none 
may  cross  over  from  thence  to  us. 

27  And  he  said,  I  pray  thee  there- 
fore, father,  that  thou  wouldest 
send   him   to  my  father's  house ; 

28  for  I  five  have  brethren  ;  that  he 
may  testify  unto  them,  lest  they 
also  come  into  this  place  of  tor- 
ment. 29  But  Abraham  saith, 
They  have  Moses  and  the  proph- 
ets ;  let  them  hear  them.  30  And 
he  said,  Nay,  father  Abraham : 
but  if  one  go  to  them  from  the 
dead,  they  will  repent.  31And  he 
said  unto  him,  If  they  hear  not 
Moses  and  the  prophets,  neither 
will  they  be  persuaded,  if  one  rise 
from  the  dead. 


Mark.  Matthew. 


stand  ye  here  all  the  day  idle? 
7  They  say  unto  him,  Because  no 
man  hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto 
them,  Go  ye  also  into  the  vine- 
yard. 8  And  when  even  was  come, 
the  lord  of  the  vineyard  saith  unto 
his  steward,  Call  the  laborers,  and 
pay  them  their  hire,  beginning 
from  the  last  unto  the  first.  9  And 
when  they  came  that  were  hired 
about  the  eleventh  hour,  they 
received  every  man  a  shilling. 
10  And  when  the  first  came,  they 
supposed  that  they  would  receive 
more  ;  and  they  likewise  received 
every  man  a  shilling.  n  And 
when  they  received  it,  they  mur- 
mured against  the  householder, 
12  saying,  These  last  have  spent 
but  one  hour,  and  thou  hast  made 
them  equal  unto  us,  who  have 
borne  the  burden  of  the  day  and 
the  "scorching  heat.  13But  he 
answered  and  said  to  one  of  them, 
Friend,  I  do  thee  no  wrong : 
didst  not  thou  agree  with  me  for 
a  shilling?  "Take  up  that 
which  is  thine,  and  go  thy  way  ; 
it  is  my  will  to  give  unto  this  last, 
even  as  unto  thee.  1S  Is  it  not 
lawful  for  me  to  do  what  I  will 
with  mine  own  ?  or  is  thine  eye 
evil,  because  I  am  good?  16So 
the  last  shall  be  first,  and  the  first 
last. 


Another  Prophecy  of  His  Own  Martyrdom. 


Luke. 


99 


X  :  32-34. 

32  And  they  were  on  the  way, 
going  up  to  Jerusalem ;  and  Jesus 
was  going  before  them  :  and  they 
were  amazed ;  and  they  that  fol- 
lowed were  afraid.  And  he  took 
again  the  twelve,  and  began  to 
tell  them  the  things  that  were  to 
happen  unto  him,  ^sayittg,  Be- 
hold, we  go  up  to  Jerusalem  ;  and 
the  Son  of  man  shall  be  delivered 
unto  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  ;  and  they  shall  condemn 
him  to  death,  and  shall  deliver 
him  unto  the  Gentiles  :  34  and  they 
shall  mock  him,  and  shall  spit 
upon  him,  and  shall  scourge  him, 
and  shall  kill  him  ;  and  after  three 
days  he  shall  rise  again. 


XX:  17-19. 

17  And  as  Jesus    was    going   up 
to  Jerusalem, 


he  took  the  twelve 
disciples   apart,    and   on  the  way 
he  said  unto  them,  18  Be- 
hold we  go  up  to  Jerusalem  ;  and 
the  Son  of  man  shall  be  '"delivered 
unto  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  ;    and  they  shall  condemn 
him  to  death,  19and  shall  deliver 
him  unto  the  Gentiles 
to  mock,  and 
to  scourge  ; 

and    to    crucify :    and    the    third 
day  he  shall  be  raised  up. 


XVIII:  31-34. 


31  And    he    took    unto  him   the 
twelve,  and  said  unto  them, 

Be- 
hold, we  go  up  to  Jerusalem,  and 
all  the  things  that  are  written 
through  the  prophets  shall  be  ac- 
complished unto  the  Son  of  Man. 
32  For  he  shall  be  *  delivered  up 
unto  the  Gentiles,  and  shall  be 
mocked,  and  shamefully  treated, 
and  spit  upon:  33and  they  shah 
scourge  and  kill  him:  and  the 
third  day  he  shall  rise  again. 
34  And  they  understood  none  of 
these  things;  and  this  saying  was 
hid  from  them,  and  they  perceived 
not  the  things  that  were  said.

Matthew. 


Luke. 


X:  35-45. 
35  And  there  come  near  unto 
him  James  and  John,  the  sons  of 
Zebedee,  saying  unto  him,  Teacher, 
we  would  that  thou  shouldest  do 
for  us  whatsoever  we  shall  ask  of 
thee.  36And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  would  ye  that  I  should  do 
for  you  ?  37  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Grant  unto  us  that  we  may 
sit,  one  on  thy  right  hand,  and 
one  on  thy  left  hand,  in  thy  glory. 

38  But  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask. 
Are  ye  able  to  drink  the  cup  that 
I  drink?  or  to  be  baptized  with  the 
baptism  that  I  am  baptized  with  ? 

39  And  they  said  unto  him,  We  are 
able.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
The  cup  that  I  drink  ye  shall  drink  ; 
and  with  the  baptism  that  I  am 
baptized  withal  shall  ye  be  bap- 
tized:  40but  to  sit  on  my  right 
hand  or  on  my  left  hand  is  not 
mine  to  give ;  but  it  is  for  them 
for  whom  it  hath  been  prepared. 

41  And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they 
began  to  be  moved  with  indigna- 
tion concerning  James   and    John. 

42  And  Jesus  called  them  to  him, 
and  saith  unto  them,  Ye  know 
that  they  who  are  accounted  to 
rule  over  the  Gentiles  lord  it  over 
them ;  and  their  great  ones  exer- 
cise authority  over  them.  43  But 
it  is  not  so  among  you  :  but  who- 
soever would  become  great  among 
you,  shall  be  your  '"minister; 
44  and  whosoever  would  be  first 
among  you,   shall  be  *  servant  of 

t.  f  <r«.  all.      4Λ  For   the   Son  of  man   also 
jxoti  came  not    to  be   ministered  unto, 
rv\«>vY*  but   to   minister,    and   to   give  his 
life  a  ransom  for  many. 


The  Sons  of  Zebedee. 

XX:  20-28. 

20  Then  came  to  him  the  mother 
of  the  sons  of  Zebedee  with  her 
sons, 

"'worshipping  him,  and  ask- 
ing a  certain  thing  of  him.  21  And 
he  said  unto  her,  What  wouldest 
thou  ?  She  saith  unto  him,  Com- 
mand that  these  my  two  sons  may 
sit,  one  on  thy  right  hand,  and 
one  on  thy  left  hand,  in  thy  king- 
dom. 22  But  Jesus  answered  and 
said,  Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask. 
Are  ye  able  to  drink  the  cup  that 
I   am  about  to  drink  ? 

They  say  unto  him,  We  are 
able.  23  He  saith  unto  them, 
My    cup   indeed    ye    shall   drink : 


but  to  sit  on  my  right 
hand,  and  on  my  left  hand,  is  not 
mine  to  give  ;  but  it  is  for  them 
for  whom  it  hath  been  prepared  of 
my  Father.  24And  when  the  ten 
heard  it,  they  were  moved  with 
indignation  concerning  the  two 
brethren.  25  But  Jesus  called  them 
unto  him,  and  said,  Ye  know  that 

the  rulers  of  the  Gentiles  lord 
it  over  them,  and  their  great 
ones  exercise  authority  over  them. 
26  Not  so  shall  it  be  among  you : 
but  whosoever  would  become  great 
among  you  shall  be  your  '•'  minis- 
ter ; 


27  and  whosoever  would  be 
first  among  you  shall  be  your  *  serv- 
ant :  28  even  as  the  Son  of  man 
came  not  to  be  ministered  unto, 
but  to  minister,  and  to  give  his 
life  a  ransom  for  many. 


XII:  49,  50;  XXII:  24-27. 


12  49I  came  to  cast  fire  upon 
the  earth  ;  and  *  what  do  I  desire, 
if  it  is  already  kindled  ?  εο  But  I 
have  a  baptism  to  be  baptized 
with  ;  and  how  am  I  straitened  till 
it  be  accomplished  ! 


22  24  And  there  arose  also  a  con- 
tention among  them,  which  of 
them  was  accounted  to  be  '"great- 
est.    25And   he   said   unto  them, 


The  kings  of  the  Gentiles  have 
lordship  over  them  ;  and  they  that 
have  authority  over  them  are  called 
Benefactors.  2β  But  ye  shall  not 
be  so :  but  he  that  is  the  greater

younger  ;  and  he  that  is  chief,  as 
he  that  doth  serve. 


27  For  which 
is  greater,  he  that  ':'  sitteth  at  meat, 
or  he  that  serveth?  is  not  he 
that  sitteth  at  meat  ?  but  I  am 
in  the  midst  of  you  as  he  that

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
drew  nigh  unto  Jericho,  a  certain 
blind  man  sat  by  the  way  side 
begging  :  36and  hearing  a  multitude 
going  by,  he   inquired    what    this

by  the  way  side.  47  And  when  he 
heard  that  it  was  Jesus  the  Naza- 
rene,  he  began  to  cry  out,  and  say, 
Jesus,  thou  son  of  David,  have 
mercy  on  me.  ^And  many  re- 
buked him,  that  he  should  hold 
his  peace  :  but  he  cried  out  the 
more  a  great  deal,  Thou  son  of 
David,  have  mercy  on  me.  49  And 
Jesus  stood  still,  and  said,  Call  ye 
him.  And  they  call  the  blind 
man,  saying  unto  him,  Be  of 
good  cheer :  rise,  he  calleth  thee. 
*°And  he,  casting  away  his  gar- 
ment, sprang  up,  and  came  to 
Jesus.  slAnd  Jesus  answered 
him,  and  said,  What  wilt  thou 
that  I  should  do  unto  thee  ?  And 
the  blind  man  said  unto  him, 
*  Rabboni,  that  I  may  receive  my 
sight.  M  And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Go  thy  way  ;  thy  faith  hath  ::naade 
thee  whole. 

And  straightway  he 
received  his  sight,  and  followed 
him  in  the  way.

when  they 
heard  that  Jesus  was  passing  by, 
cried  out,  saying,  Lord,  have  mercy 
on  us,  thou  son  of  David. 

31  And 
the  multitude  rebuked  them,  that 
they  should  hold  their  peace  :  but 
they  cried  out  the  more,  saying, 
Lord,  have  mercy  on  us,  thou  son 
of  David.  32And  Jesus  stood  still, 
and  called  them,  and  said, 


What  will  ye 
that  I  should  do  unto  you? 
33  They  say  unto  him,  Lord,  that 
our  eyes  may  be  opened.  34And 
Jesus,  being  moved  with  compas- 
sion,   touched     their    eyes ; 

and 
straightway  they  received  their 
sight,  and  followed  him. 


9  27  And  as  Jesus  passed  by  from 
thence,  two  blind  men  followed 
him,  crying  out,  and  saying,  Have 
mercy  on  us,  thou  son  of  David. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house,  the  blind  men  came  to  him  : 
and  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Believe 
ye  that  I  am  able  to  do  this? 
They   say  unto  him,  Yea,   Lord. 

29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes,  say- 
ing, According  to  your  faith  be 
it  done  unto  you.  30And  their 
eyes  were  opened.  And  Jesus 
"strictly  charged  them,  saying,

his  fame  in  all  that  land.

38  And  he  cried,  saying,  Jesus, 
thou  son  of  David,  have  mercy  on 
me.  39  And  they  that  went  before 
rebuked  him,  that  he  should  hold 
his  peace  :  but  he  cried  out  the 
more  a  great  deal,  Thou  son  of 
David,  have  mercy  on  me.  ^And 
Jesus  stood,  and  commanded  him 
to  be  brought  unto  him  :  and  when 
he  was  come  near,  he  asked  him, 


41  What  wilt  thou 
that  I  should  do  unto  thee  ?  And 
he  said,  Lord,  that  I  may  receive  my 

sight.  42  And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Receive  thy  sight :  thy  faith  hath 
*  made  thee  whole.  ^  And  imme- 
diately he  received  his  sight,  and 
followed  him,  glorifying  God :  and

gave  praise  unto  God.

cause he  was  little  of  stature. 
4  And  he  ran  on  before,  and 
climbed  up  into  a  sycamore  tree 
to  see  him  :  for  he  was  to  pass 
that  way.  5And  when  Jesus 
came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up,

The  Jerusalem  Days 

The  Triumphal  Entry. 
XXI:  1-11. 


!And  when  they  draw  nigh 
unto  Jerusalem,  unto  Bethphage 
and  Bethany,  at  the  mount  of 
Olives,  he  sendeth  two  of  his  disci- 
ples, 2  and  saith  unto  them,  Go  your 
way  into  the  village  that  is  over 
against  you:  and  straightway  as 
ye  enter  into  it,  ye  shall  find  a 
colt  tied,  whereon  no  man  ever 
yet  sat ;  loose  him  and  bring  him. 
3  And  if  any  one  say  unto  you, 
Why  do  ye  this?  say  ye,  The 
Lord  hath  need  of  him  ;  and 
straightway  he  "will  send  him 
*  back  hither. 


4  And  they  went 
away,  and  found  a  colt  tied  at  the 
door  without  in  the  open  street ; 
and  they  loose  him.  5  And  certain 
of  them  that  stood  there  said  unto 
them,  What  do  ye,  loosing  the 
colt?  6And  they  said  unto  them 
even  as  Jesus  had  said  :  and  they 
let  them  go.  7  And  they  bring 
the  colt  unto  Jesus,  and  cast  on 
him  their  garments ;  and  he  sat 
upon  him.  8And  many  spread 
their  garments  upon  the  way  ;  and 


*And  when  they  drew  nigh 
unto  Jerusalem,  and  came  unto 
Bethphage,  unto  the  mount  of 
Olives,  then  Jesus  sent  two  disci- 
ples, 2  saying  unto  them,  Go  into 
the  village  that  is  over  against 
you,  and  straightway  ye  shall  find 
an  ass  tied,  and  a  colt  with  her  : 
loose  them,  and  bring  them  unto 
me. 

3  And  if  any  one  say  aught 
unto  you,  ye  shall  say,  The  Lord 
hath  need  of  them  ;  and  straight- 
way he  will  send  them.  4  Now 
this  is  come  to  pass,  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
through  the  prophet,  saying, 
5  !•'Τε11  ye  the  daughter  of  Zion, 
Behold,  thy  King  cometh  unto 

thee, 
Meek,  and  riding  upon  an  ass, 
And  upon  a  colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 
6  And    the    disciples    went,    and 
did  even  as  Jesus  appointed  them, 


7  and  brought  the  ass,  and  the 
colt,  and  put  on  them  their  gar- 
ments ;  and  he  sat  thereon.  8  And 
the  most  part  of  the  multitude 
spread  their  garments  in  the  way  ;

to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  and  came 
down,  and   received  him  joyfully. 

7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all 
murmured,  saying,  He  is  gone  in 
to  lodge  with  a  man  that  is  a  sin- 
ner. 8  And  Zacchceus  stood,  and 
said  unto  the  Lord,  Behold,  Lord, 
the  half  of  my  goods  I  give  to 
the  poor ;  and  if  I  have  wrongfully 
exacted  aught  of  any  man,  I  re- 
store fourfold.  9And  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  To-day  is  salvation  come 
to  this  house,  forasmuch  as  he  also 
is  a  son  of  Abraham.  10For  the 
Son  of  man  came  to  seek  and  to 
save  that  which  was  lost. 


XIX:  28-38. 

28  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  went  on  before,  going  up  to 
Jerusalem.  29  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  drew  nigh  unto  Beth- 
phage and  Bethany,  at  the  mount 
that  is  called  Olivet,  he  sent  two 
of  the  disciples,  30  saying,  Go  your 
way  into  the  village  over  against 
you  ;  in  which  as  ye  enter  ye  shall 
find  a  colt  tied,  whereon  no  man 
ever  yet  sat :  loose  him,  and  bring 
him. 

31  And  if  any  one  ask  you, 
Why  do  ye  loose  him  ?  thus  shall 
ye  say,  The  Lord  hath  need  of  him. 


32  And  they  that  were  sent  went 
away,  and  found  even  as  he 
had  said  unto  them.  ^And  as 
they  were  loosing  the  colt,  the 
owners  thereof  said  unto  them, 
Why  loose  ye  the  colt  ?  34  And  they 
said,  The  Lord  hath  need  of  him. 

36  And  they  brought  him  to  Jesus  : 
and  they  threw  their  garments  upon 
the  colt,  and  set  Jesus  thereon. 
36  And  as  he  went,  they  spread 
their  garments  in  the  way.

saying,  Who  is  this  ?  u  And  the

ples began  to  rejoice  and  praise 
God  with  a  loud  voice  for  all  the 
"mighty  works  which  they  had 
seen ;  ^saying,  Blessed  is  the

42 saying,  *If  thou  hadst  known 
in  *this  day,  even  thou,  the  things 
which  belong  unto  *  peace !  but 
now  they  are  hid  from  thine  eyes.

thee,  when  thine  enemies  shall 
cast  up  a  "bank  about  thee,  and 
compass  thee  round,  and  keep 
thee  in  on  every  side,  44and  shall 
dash  thee  to  the  ground,  and  thy 
children  within  thee ;  and  they 
shall  not  leave  in  thee  one  stone 
upon  another  ;  because  thou  knew-

The  Cursing  of  the  Fig  Tree. 


XI:  12-14. 

12  And  on  the  morrow,  when  they 
were  come  out  from  Bethany,  he 
hungered.  13  And  seeing  a  fig  tree 
afar  off  having  leaves,  he  came, 
if  haply  he  might  find  anything 
thereon  :  and  when  he  came  to  it, 
he  found  nothing  but  leaves  ;  for  it 
was  not  the  season  of  figs.  14And 
he  answered  and  said  unto  it,  No 
man  eat  fruit  from  thee  hencefor- 
ward for  ever.  And  his  disciples 
heard  it. 


XXI:  18,  19. 

18  Now  in  the  morning  as  he  re- 
turned to  the  city,  he  hungered. 
19  And  seeing  *a  fig  tree  by  the 
way    side,    he    came    to    it, 

and 
found  nothing  thereon,  but  leaves 
only  ; 

and  he  saith  unto  it,  Let  there  be 
no  fruit  from  thee  henceforward 
for  ever.  And  immediately  the 
fig  tree  withered  away. 


Λ  Call  to  Repentance. 

XIII  :  1-5. 

1  Now  there  were  some  present  at 
that  very  season  who  told  him  of  the 
Galilseans,  whose  blood  Pilate  had 
mingled  with  their  sacrifices.  2And 
he  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Think  ye  that  these  Galilaeans 
were  sinners  above  all  the  Gali- 
laeans, because  they  have  suffered 
these  things  ?  3 1  tell  you,  Nay  : 
but,  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all 
in  like  manner  perish.  4Or  those 
eighteen,  upon  whom  the  tower  in 
Siloam  fell,  and  killed  them,  think 
ye  that  they  were  "offenders  above 
all  the  men  that  dwell  in  Jerusa- 
lem ?  b  I  tell  you,  Nay :  but, 
except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  like- 
wise perish. 

First  Parable  of  the  Fig 
Tree. 

XIII:  6-9. 

6  And  he  spake  this  parable ; 
A  certain  man  had  a  fig  tree 
planted  in  his  vineyard  ;  and  he 
came  seeking  fruit  thereon,  and 
found  none.  7  And  he  said  unto 
the  vinedresser,  Behold,  these 
three  years  I  come  seeking  fruit 
on  this  fig  tree,  and  find  none  : 
cut  it  down;  why  doth  it  also 
cumber  the  ground?  8And  he 
answering  saith  unto  him,  Lord, 
let  it  alone  this  year  also,  till  I 
shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it: 
9  and  if  it  bear  fruit  thenceforth, 
well ;  but  if  not,  thou  shalt  cut 
it  down.

temple,  and  overthrew  the  tables 
of  the  money-changers,  and  the 
seats  of  them  that  sold  the  doves  ; 
lfiand  he  would  not  suffer  that  any 
man  should  carry  a  vessel  through 
the  temple.  17  And  he  taught, 
and  said  unto  them,  Is  it  not  writ-

house  of  prayer  for  all  the  na- 
tions? "but  ye  have  made  it  a

Consequent  Attitude  of  the  Scribes  and  Pharisees

18  And  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  heard  it,  and  sought  how 
they  might  destroy  him  :  for  they 
feared  him,  for  all  the  multitude 
was  astonished  at  his  teaching. 


19  And  * every  evening 
forth  out  of  the  city. 


'he  went 


14  And  the  blind  and  the  lame 
came  to  him  in  the  temple ;  and 
he  healed  them.  15But  when  the 
chief  priests  and  the  scribes  saw 
the  wonderful  things  that  he  did, 
and  the  children  that  were  crying 
in  the  temple  and  saying,  Ho- 
sanna  to  the  son  of  David  ;  they 
were  moved  with  indignation, 
16  and  said  to  unto  him,  Hearest 
thou  what  these  are  saying  ?  And 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Yea  :  did 
ye  never  read,  *  Out  of  the  mouth 
of  babes  and  sucklings  thou  hast 
perfected  praise?  17And  he  left 
them,  and  went 

forth  out  of  the  city 
to  Bethany,  and  lodged  there. 


Utterance  Concerning  the  Withered  Fig  Tree. 


XI:  20-25  (26). 
20  And  as  they  passed  by  in  the 
morning,  they  saw  the  fig  tree 
withered  away  from  the  roots. 
21  And  Peter  calling  to  remem- 
brance saith  unto  him,  Rabbi, 
behold,  the  fig  tree  which  thou 
cursedst  is  withered  away.    2a  And 


XXI  :  20-22. 


20  And  when  the  disciples  saw 
it,  they  marvelled,  saying,  How 
did  the  fig  tree  immediately  wither 
away  ?       21  And    Jesus     answered 


XIX:  47,  48. 

47  And  he  was  teaching  daily  in 
the  temple.  But  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  and  the  principal 
men  of  the  people  sought  to  de- 
stroy him  : 


48  and  they  could  not 
find  what  they  might  do ;  for  the 
people  all  hung  upon  him,  listen-

unto  you, 


Whosoever  shall  say 
unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou  taken 
up  and  cast  into  the  sea  ;  and  shall 
not  doubt  in  his  heart,  but  shall 
believe  that  what  he  saith  cometh 
to  pass  ;  he  shall  have  it.  24  There- 
fore I  say  unto  you,  All  things 
whatsoever  ye  pray  and  ask  for, 
believe  that  ye  *  receive  them,  and 
ye  shall  have  them.  25  And  when- 
soever ye  stand  praying,  forgive,  if 
ye  have  aught  against  any  one  ;  that 
your  Father  also  who  is  in  heaven 
may  forgive   you  your   trespasses.

and   said   unto  them, 

Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  If  ye  have  faith,  and 
doubt  not,  ye  shall  not  only  do 
what  is  done  to  the  fig  tree,  but 
even  if  ye  shall  say  unto  this 
mountain,  Be  thou  taken  up  and 
cast  into  the  sea,  it  shall  be  done.

The  Dilemma  About  John's  Baptism. 


XI :  27-33. 


27  And  they  come  again  to  Jeru- 
salem :  and  as  he  was  walking  in 
the  temple,  there  come  to  him  the 
chief  priests,  and  the  scribes,  and 
the  elders; 28  and  they  said  unto  him, 
By  what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things?  orwhogave  theethis  author- 
ity to  do  these  things?  29 And  Jesus 
said  unto  them,  I 
will  ask  of  you  one  "question,  and 
answer  me, 

and  I  will  tell  you  by  what  authority 
I  do  these  things.  30  The  baptism 
of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or 
from  men  ?  answer  me.  31  And  they 
reasoned  with  themselves, 
saying,  If  we  shall  say,  From 
heaven  ;    he   will   say,  Why 

then  did  ye  not  believe  him?  32=:But 
should  we  say,  From  men — they 
feared  the  people :  'Tor  all   verily 

held  John  to  be  a  prophet.  S3  And 
they  answered  Jesus  and  say,  We 
know  not.  And  Jesus  saith  unto 
them,  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things. 


XXI:   23-27. 


23  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  temple,  the  chief  priests  and 
the  elders  of  the  people  came  unto 
him  as  he  was  teaching,  and  said, 
By  what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things  ?  and  who  gave  thee  this  au- 
thority ?  24  And  Jesus 
answered,  and  said  unto  them,  I 
also  will  ask  you  one  '"question, 
which  if  ye  tell  me,  I  like- 
wise will  tell  you  by  what  authority 
I  do  these  things.  25The  baptism 
of  John,  whence  was  it?  from 
heaven  or  from  men  ?  And  they 
reasoned  with  themselves, 
saying,  If  we  shall  say,  From 
heaven  ;  he  will  say  unto  us,  Why 
then  did  ye  not  believe  him  ?  26  But 
if  we  shall  say,  From  men  ;  we 
fear   the    multitude  ;  for   all 

hold  John  as  a  prophet.  27And 
they  answered  Jesus,  and  said,  We 
know  not.  He  also  said  unto 
them,  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things. 


XX:   1-8 


1  And  it  came  to  pass,  on  one  of 
the  days,  as  he  was  teaching  the 
people  in  the  temple,  and  preach- 
ing the  gospel,  there  came  upon 
him  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  with  the  elders  ;  2  and  they 
spake,  saying  unto  him,  Tell  us  : 
By  what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things?  or  who  is  he  that  gave 
thee  this  authority  ?  3  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them,  I 
also  will  ask  you  a  "question  ;  and 
tell    me : 

4  The  baptism 
of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or 
from  men  ?  6  And    they 

reasoned  with  themselves, 
saying,  If  we  shall  say,  From 
heaven ;  he  will  say,  Why 
did  ye  not  believe  him  ?  6  But 
if  we  shall  say,  From  men ;  all 
the  people  will  stone  us : 
for  they  are  persuaded 
that  John  was  a  prophet.  7And 
they  answered,  that  they  knew  not 
whence  it  was.  8And  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things.

The  Fruits  of  John's  Ministry. 


XXI :  31/;,  32. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  that  the  publicans 
and  the  harlots  go  into  the  king- 
dom of  God  before  you.  32  For 
John  came  unto  you  in  the  way  of 
righteousness,  and  ye  believed  him 
not ;  but  the  publicans  and  the 
harlots  believed  him :  and  ye, 
when  ye  saw  it,  did  not  even  re- 
pent yourselves  afterward,  that  ye 
might  believe  him. 

The  Parable  of  the  Two 
Unlike  Sons. 

XXI:  28-31*. 

28  But  what  think  ye  ?  A  man 
had  two  *  sons  ;  and  he  came  to 
the  first,  and  said,  *  Son,  go  work 
to-day  in  the  vineyard.  29And  he 
answered  and  said,  I  will  not :  but 
afterward  he  repented  himself, 
and  went.  30  And  he  came  to  the 
second,  and  said  likewise.  And 
he  answered  and  said,  I  go,  sir : 
and  went  not.  31  Which  of  the 
two  did  the  will  of  his  father? 
They  say,  The  first.

29  And  all  the  people  when  they 
heard,  and  the  publicans, 

justified 
God,  "being  baptized  with  the 
baptism  of  John.  so  But  the  Phar- 
isees and  the  lawyers  rejected  for 
themselves  the  counsel  of  God, 
*  being  not  baptized  of  him. 


The  Prodigal  Son. 

XV:  11-32. 
11  And  he  said,  A  certain  man 
had  two  sons:  12and  the  younger 
of  them  said  to  his  father,  Father, 
give  me  the  portion  of  *  t/iy  sub- 
stance that  falleth  to  me.  And  he 
divided     unto    them     his     living. 

13  And  not  many  days  after,  the 
younger  son  gathered  all  together 
and  took  his  journey  into  a  far 
country ;  and  there  he  wasted  his 
substance    with    riotous    living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in 
that  country ;  and  he  began  to  be 
in  want.  1δ  And  he  went  and 
joined  himself  to  one  of  the  citi- 
zens of  that  country  ;  and  he  sent 
him  into  his  fields  to  feed  swine. 
16  And  he  would  fain  *have  filled 
his  belly  with  *  the  husks  that  the 
swine  did  eat :  and  no  man  gave 
unto  him.  17  But  when  he  came 
to  himself  he  said,  How  many 
hired  servants  of  my  father's  have 
bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and 
I  perish   here  with   hunger!     18I

will  arise  and  go  to  my  father, 
and  will  say  unto  him,  Father,  I 
have  sinned  against  heaven,  and 
in  thy  sight :  ,9 1  am  no  more 
worthy  to  be  called  thy  son  :  make 
me  as  one  of  thy  hired  servants. 
20  And  he  arose,  and  came  to  his 
father.  But  while  he  was  yet  afar 
off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  was 
moved  with  compassion,  and  ran, 
and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  "kissed 
him.  21  And  the  son  said  unto 
him,  Father,  I  have  sinned  against 
heaven,  and  in  thy  sight :  I  am 
no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy 
son.*  22But  the  father  said  to  his 
"servants,  Bring  forth  quickly  the 
best  robe,  and  put  it  on  him  ;  and 
put  a  ring  on  his  hand,  and  shoes 
on  his  feet :  23and  bring  the  fatted 
calf,  and  kill  it,  and  let  us  eat, 
and  make  merry :  2i  for  this  my 
son  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again ; 
he  was  lost,  and  is  found.  And 
they  began  to  be  merry.  25Now 
his  elder  son  was  in  the  field  :  and 
as  he  came  and  drew  nigh  to  the 
house,  he  heard  music  and  dancing. 
26  And  he  called  to  him  one  of  the 
servants,  and  inquired  what  these 
things  might  be.  27And  he  said 
unto  him,  Thy  brother  is  come ; 
and  thy  father  hath  killed  the 
fatted  calf,  because  he  hath  re- 
ceived him  safe  and  sound.  28  But 
he  was  angry,  and  would  not  go 
in  :  and  his  father  came  out,  and 
entreated  him.  29  But  he  answered 
and  said  to  his  father,  Lo,  these 
many  years  do  I  serve  thee,  and  I 
never  transgressed  a  command- 
ment of  thine  ;  and  yet  thou  never 
gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I  might 
make  merry  with  my  friends : 
30  but  when  this  thy  son  came,  who 
hath  devoured  thy  living  with 
harlots,  thou  killedst  for  him  the 
fatted  calf.  31  And  he  said  unto 
him,  "Son,  thou  art  ever  with 
me,  and  all  that  is  mine  is  thine. 
32  But  it  was  meet  to  make  merry 
and  be  glad :  for  this  thy  brother 
was  dead,  and  is  alive  again ; 
and  wees  lost,  and  is  found. 

The  Pharisee  and  the 
Publican.

themselves  that  they  were  right- 
eous, and  set  "all  others  at  nought : 
10  Two  men  went  up  into  the  tem- 
ple to  pray  ;  the  one  a  Pharisee, 
and  the  other  a  "publican.  n  The 
Pharisee  stood  and  prayed  thus 
with  himself,  God,  I  thank  thee, 
that  I  am  not  as  the  rest  of  men, 
extortioners,  unjust,  adulterers,  or 
even  as  this  publican.  Vi  I  fast 
twice  in  the  week  ;  I  give  tithes  of 
all  that  I  get.  13  But  the  publi- 
can, standing  afar  off,  would  not 
lift  up  so  much  as  his  eyes  unto 
heaven,  but  smote  his  breast,  say- 
ing, God,  *  be  thou  merciful  to  me 
*  a  sinner.  u  I  say  unto  you,  This 
man  went  down  to  his  house  justi- 
fied rather  than  the  other :  for 
every  one  that  exalteth  himself  shall 
be  humbled ;  but  he  that  hum- 
bleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 


The  Parable  of  the  Lord's  Vineyard. 


XII :  1-12. 


*And  he  began  to  speak  unto 
them  in  parables.  A  man  planted 
a  vineyard,  and  set  a  hedge  about 
it,  and  digged  a  pit  for  the  wine- 
press, and  built  a  tower,  and  let 
it  out  to  husbandmen,  and  went 
into  another  country.  2  And  at 
the  season  he  sent  to  the  husband- 
men a  *  servant,  that  he  might 
receive  from  the  husbandmen  of 
the  fruijts  of  the  vineyard.  3And 
they  took  him,  and  beat  him,  and 
sent  him  away  empty.  4And 
again  he  sent  unto  them  another 
servant ;  and  him  they  wounded 
in  the  head,  and  handled  shame- 
fully. δ  And  he  sent  another ;  and 
him  they  killed  :  and  many  others  ; 
beating    some,  and   killing    some. 

6  He  had  yet  one,  a  beloved  son  : 
he  sent  him  last  unto  them,  say- 
ing, They  will  reverence  my  son. 

7  But  those  husbandmen 

said  among 
themselves,  This  is  the  heir;  come, 
let  us  kill  him,  and  the  inherit- 
ance shall  be  ours.  8And  they 
took  him,  and  killed  him,  and 
cast  him  forth  out  of  the  vineyard. 
9  What  therefore  will  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  do?  he  will  come 
and  destroy  the  husbandmen,  and 
will  give  the  vineyard  unto  others. 


XXI:  33-46. 

33  Hear  another  parable  :  There 
was  a  man  that  was  a  householder, 
who  planted  a  vineyard,  and  set  a 
hedge  about  it,  and  digged  a  wine- 
press in  it,  and  built  a  tower, 
and  let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and 
went  into  another  country.  Μ  And 
when  the  season  of  the  fruits 
drew  near,  he  sent  his  "servants  to 
the  husbandmen,  to  receive  *  his 
fruits.  ^And  the  husbandmen 
took  his  servants,  and  beat  one, 
and  killed  another,  and  stoned 
another.  36  Again,  he  sent  other 
servants  more  than  the  first :  and 
they  did  unto  them  in  like  man- 
ner 


37  But  afterward  he  sent  unto 
them  his  son,  saying,  They  will 
reverence  my  son. 

38  But  the  husbandmen,  when 
they  saw  the  son.  said  among 
themselves,  This  is  the  heir ;  come, 
let  us  kill  him,  and  take  his  inher- 
itance. 39  And  they  took  him  and 
cast  him  forth  out  of  the  vineyard, 
and  killed  him.  40  When  there- 
fore the  lord  of  the  vineyard  shall 
come,  what  will  he  do  unto  those 
husbandmen  ?  41  They  say  unto 
him,  He  will  miserably  destroy 
those  miserable  men,  and  will  let 


XX:  9-19. 


9  And  he  began  to  speak  unto 
the  people  this  parable :  A  man 
planted  a  vineyard, 

and  let  it  out 

to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  an- 
other country  for  a  long  time.  10And 
at  the  season  he  sent  unto  the 
husbandmen  a  "servant,  that  they 
should  give  him  of  the  fruit  of  the 
vineyard :  but  the  husbandmen 
beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty.  n  And  he  sent  yet  another 
servant :  and  him  also  they  beat, 
and  handled  him  shamefully,  and 
sent  him  away  empty.  12  And  he 
sent  yet  a  third  :  and  him  also  they 
wounded,  and  cast  him  forth. 
13  And  the  lord  of  the  vineyard 
said,  What  shall  I  do?  I  will 
send  my  beloved  son ;  it  may  be 
they  will  reverence  him.  M  But 
when  the  husbandmen  saw  him, 
they  reasoned  one  with  another, 
saying,  This  is  the  heir ; 
let  us  kill  him,  that  the  inher- 
itance may  be  ours.  15And  they 
cast  him  forth  out  of  the  vineyard, 
and  killed  him.  What  therefore 
will  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  do 
unto  them  ?  16  He  will  come  and 
destroy    these    husbandmen,    and

scripture :

rejected, 
The  same  was  made  the  head 
of  the  corner ; 
■^This  was  from  the  Lord, 
And   it   is  marvellous  in  our 
eyes  ? 


12  And  they  sought  to  lay  hold  on 
him;  and  they  feared  the  multi- 
tude ;  for  they  perceived  that  he 
spake  the  parable  against  them : 
and  they  left  him,  and  went 
away.

out  the  vineyard  unto  other  hus- 
bandmen, who  shall  render  him 
the  fruits  in  their  seasons.  ^ Jesus 
saith  unto  them,  Did  ye  never 
read  in  the  scriptures, 

*The  stone  which  the  builders 
rejected, 
The  same  was  made  the  head 

of  the  corner ; 
This  was  from  the  Lord, 
And  it  is  marvellous  in  our 
eyes? 
43  Therefore  say  I  unto  you,  The 
kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken 
away  from  you,  and  shall  be  given 
to  a  nation  bringing  forth  the 
fruits  thereof.  ***And  he  thatfall- 
eth  on  this  stone  shall  be  broken 
to  pieces :  but  on  whomsoever  it 
shall  fall,  it  will  scatter  him  as  dust. 
46And  when  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees  heard  his  parables, 
they  perceived  that  he  spake  of 
them.  46And  when  they  sought 
to  lay  hold  on  him,  they  feared 
the  multitudes,  because  they  took 
him  for  a  prophet.

will  give  the  vineyard  unto  others. 

And    when    they    heard    it,    they 

said,     *  God    forbid.       17  But    he 

looked     upon     them,     and     said, 

What  then  is  this  that  is  written, 

*The  stone    which  the  builders 

rejected, 

The  same  was  made  the  head 

of  the  corner  ? 


18  Every  one  that  falleth  on  that 
stone  shall  be  broken  to  pieces  ; 
but  on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it 
will  scatter  him  as  dust. 

19  And  the  scribes  and  the  chief 
priests  sought  to  lay  hands  on  him 
in  that  very  hour ;  and  they  feared 
the  people  ;  for  they  perceived  that 
he  spake  this  parable  against 
them. 

Concerning  Humility. 

XIV:  7-14. 

7  And  he  spake  a  parable  unto 
those  that  were  bidden,  when  he 
marked  how  they  chose  out  the 
chief  seats ;  saying  unto  them, 
8  When  thou  art  bidden  of  any 
man  to  a  marriage  feast,  *sit  not 
down  in  the  chief  seat ;  lest  haply 
a  more  honorable  man  than  thou 
be  bidden  of  him,  9and  he  that 
bade  thee  and  him  shall  come  and 
say  to  thee,  Give  this  man  place ; 
and  then  thou  shalt  begin  wiih 
shame  to  take  the  lowest  place. 
10  But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go 
and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  place  ; 
that  when  he  hath  bidden  thee 
cometh,  he  may  say  to  thee,  Friend, 
go  up  higher :  then  shalt  thou 
have  glory  in  the  presence  of  all 
that  *  sit  at  meat  with  thee.  n  For 
every  one  that  exalteth  himself 
shall  be  humbled ;  and  he  that 
humbleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 
12  And  he  said  to  him  also  that  had 
bidden  him,  When  thou  makest 
a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not  thy 
friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  nor  thy 
kinsmen,  nor  rich  neighbors ;  lest 
haply  they  also  bid  thee  again, 
and  a  recompense  be  made  thee.

13  But  when  thou  makest  a  feast, 
bid  the  poor,  the  maimed,  the 
lame,  the  blind  :  14  and  thou  shalt 
be  blessed  ;  because  they  have  not 
wherewith  to  recompense  thee  : 
for  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  in 
the  resurrection  of  the  just. 


The  Parable  of  the  Messianic  Feast. 


XXII:  1-14. 


1  And  Jesus  answered  and  spake 
again  in  parables  unto  them,  say- 
ing, 2The  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
likened  unto  a  certain  king,  who 
made  a  marriage  feast  for  his  son, 
Sand  sent  forth  his  *  servants  to 
call  them  that  were  bidden  to  the 
marriage  feast :  and  they  would 
not  come.  4  Again  he  sent  forth 
other  servants,  saying,  Tell  them 
that  are  bidden,  Behold,  I  have 
made  ready  my  dinner ;  my  oxen 
and  my  fatlings  are  killed,  and  all 
things  are  ready :  come  to  the 
marriage  feast.  6But  they  made 
light  of  it,  and  went  their  ways, 
one  to  his  own  farm,  another  to 
his  merchandise  ;  6  and  the  rest 
laid  hold  on  his  servants,  and 
treated  them  shamefully,  and 
killed  them.  7  But  the  king  was 
wroth ;  and  he  sent  his  armies, 
and  destroyed  those  murderers, 
and  burned  their  city.  8Then 
saith  he  to  his  servants,  The 
wedding  is  ready,  but  they  that 
were  bidden  were  not  worthy. 
9  Go  ye  therefore  unto  the  part- 
ings of  the  highways,  and  as  many 
as  ye  shall  find,  bid  to  the  mar- 
riage feast. 

10  And  those   servants 


went  out  into  the  highways,  and 
gathered  together  all  as  many  as 
they  found,  both  bad  and  good  : 
and  the  wedding  was  filled  with 
guests. 


XIV  :   15-24. 

16  And  when  one  of  them  that 
*  sat  at  meat  with  him  heard  these 
things,  he  said  unto  him,  Blessed 
is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the 
kingdom  of  God.  16  But  he  said 
unto  him, 

A  certain  man  made  a 
great  supper  ;  and  he  bade  many  : 
17  and  he  sent  forth  his  *  servant  at 
supper  time  to  say  to  them  that 
were  bidden,  Come  ;  for  all  things 
are  now  ready.  18And  they  all 
with  one  consent  began  to  make 
excuse.  The  first  said  unto  him, 
I  have  bought  a  field,  and  I  must 
needs  go  out  and  see  it;  I  pray 
thee  have  me  excused.  19And 
another  said,  I  have  bought  fiye 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  I  go  to  prove 
them ;  I  pray  thee  have  me  ex- 
cused. 20And  another  said,  I 
have  married  a  wife,  and  there- 
fore I  cannot  come.  21And  the 
servant  came,  and  told  his  ord 
these  things. 


Then  the  master  of 
the  house  being  angry  said  to  his 
servant,  Go  out  quickly  into  the 
streets  and  lanes  of  the  city,  and 
bring  in  hither  the  poor  and 
maimed  and  blind  and  lame. 
22  And  the  servant  said,  Lord, 
what  thou  didst  command  is  done, 
and  yet  there  is  room.  23And 
the  lord  said  unto  the  servant, 
Go  out  into  the  highways  and 
hedges,  and  constrain  them  to 
come  in,  that  my  house  may  be 
filled.  24  For  I  say  unto  you,  that 
none  of  those  men  that  were  bid- 
den shall  taste  of  my  supper. 


11  But  when  the  king  came 
in  to  behold  the  guests,  he  saw 
there  a  man  who    had    not    on  a

XII:  13-17. 
13  And  they  send  unto  him  cer- 
tain of  the  Pharisees  and  of  the 
Herodians,  that  they  might  catch 
him  in  talk.  "And  when  they 
were    come,    they  say   unto   him, 


Teacher,  we  know  that  thou  art 
true,  and  carest  not  for  any  one  ; 
for  thou  regardest  not  the  person 
of  men,  but  of  a  truth  teachest 
the  way  of  God  : 

Is    it 
lawful  to  give   tribute  unto 

Caesar,  or  not  ? 

15  Shall  we  give,  or  shall  we  not 
give  ?  But    he,    knowing 

their  hypocrisy, 

said  unto  them,  Why 
make  ye  trial  of  me  ?  bring  me  a 
*  denarius,  that  I  may  see  it.  16And 
they    brought    it. 

And  he  saith 
unto  them,  Whose  is  this  image 
and  superscription  ?  And  they 
said  unto  him,  Caesar's.  17And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  Render  unto 
Caesar  the  things  that  are  Caesar's, 
and  unto  God  the  things  that  are 
God's. 


And  they  marvelled  greatly 


at  him. 


XII  :   18-27. 

18  And  there  come  unto  him 
Sadducees,  who  say  that  there  is 
no  resurrection ;  and  they  asked 
him,    saying, 

19  Teacher,  Moses 
wrote  unto  us,  *If  a  man's  brother 
die,  and  leave  a  wife  behind  him, 
and  leave  no  child,  that  his  brother

wedding-garment:  12and  he  saith 
unto  him,  Friend,  how  earnest  thou 
in  hither  not  having  a  wedding- 
garment?    And  he  was  speechless. 

13  Then  the  king  said  to  the 'Serv- 
ants, Bind  him  hand  and  foot, 
and  cast  him  out  into  the  outer 
darkness ;  there  shall  be  the  weep- 
ing   and    the    gnashing   of    teeth. 

14  For  many  are  called,  but  few 
chosen. 

The  Pharisees'  Question. 

XXII:  15-22. 
15  Then  went  the  Pharisees,  and 
took  counsel  how  they  might  en- 
snare him  in  his  talk.  16  And 
they  send  to  him  their  disci- 
ples,  with  the  Herodians,  saying, 


Teacher,  we  know  that  thou  art 
true,  and  teachest  the  way  of  God 
in  truth,  and  carest  not  for  any 
one  :  for  thou  regardest  not  the 
person  of  men.  17  Tell  us  there- 
fore, What  thinkest  thou?  Is  it 
lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 

Caesar,  or  not  ? 

18  But  Jesus  perceived 
their   wickedness, 

and  said,  Why 
make  ye  trial  of  me,  ye  hypocrites? 
19  Show  me  the  tribute  money. 
And  they  brought  unto  him  a 
"denarius.  2° And  he  saith  unto 
them,  Whose  is  this  image  and 
superscription  ?  21  They  say  unto 
him,  Caesar's.  Then  he  saith 
unto  them,  Render  therefore  unto 
Caesar  the  things  that  are  Caesar' s  ; 
and  unto  God  the  things  that  are 
God's.  22And  when  they  heard 
it, 

they  marvelled,  and  left  him, 
and  went  away. 

The  Sadducees'  Question. 

XXII:  23-33. 

23  On  that  day  there  came  to  him 
Sadducees,  *  they  that  say  that 
there  is  no  resurrection :  and  they 
asked  him,  24saying, 

Teacher,  Moses 
said,    *If  a    man   die,  having   no 

children,  his  brother  *  shall  many 


Luke. 


XX:  20-26. 

20  And  they  watched  him,  and 
sent  forth  spies,  who  feigned  them- 
selves to  be  righteous,  that  they 
might  take  hold  of  his  speech,  so 
as  to  deliver  him  up  to  the  :;;rule 
and  to  the  authority  of  the  gover- 
nor. 21And  they  asked  him,  saying, 
Teacher, we  know  that  thou  sayest 
and  teachest  rightly,  and  acceptest 
not  the  person  of  any,  but  of  a  truth 
teachest  the  way  of  God. 

22  Is  it 
lawful  for  ue  to  give  tribute  unto 
Caesar,  or  not  ? 

23  But  he  perceived 
their  craftiness, 

and  said  unto  them, 

24  Show    me     a 

*  denarius. 

Whose  image  and 
superscription  hath  it?  And  they 
said,  Caesar' s.  23  And  he  said 
unto  them,  Then  render  unto 
Caesar  the  things  that  are  Caesar's, 
and  unto  God  the  things  that  are 
God's.  26And  they  were  not 
able  to  take  hold  of  the  saying 
before  the  people :  and  they 
marvelled  at  his  answer,  and  held 
their  peace. 


XX:  27-3S. 

27  And  there  came  to  him  cer- 
tain of  the  Sadducees,  they  that 
say  that  there  is  no  resurrection  ; 
28  and  they  asked  him,  saying, 
Teacher,  *  Moses  wrote  unto  us, 
that  if  a  man's  brother  die,  having 
a  wife,  and  he  be  childless,  his 
brother  should  take  the  wife,  and 


Mark. 

should  take  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed    unto    his    brother. 

20  There 
were  seven  brethren  :  and  the  first 
took  a  wife,  and  dying  left  no 
seed; 

21  and  the  second  took  her, 
and  died,  leaving  no  seed  behind 
him ;  and  the  third  likewise : 
22  and  the  seven  left  no  seed. 

Last 
of  all  the  woman  also  died.  23  In 
the  resurrection  whose  wife  shall 
she  be  of  them?  for  the  seven 
had  her  to  wife.  24  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  Is  it  not  for  this  cause  that 
ye  err,  that  ye  know  not  the  scrip- 
tures,   nor    the    power    of    God? 

25  For  when  they  shall  rise  from 
the  dead,  they  neither  marry,  nor 
are  given  in  marriage  ;  but  are  as 
angels  in  heaven. 

26  But  as  touching  the  dead,  that 
they  are  raised ;  have  ye  not  read 
in  the  book  of  Moses,  in  the  place 
concerning  the  Bush,  how  God 
spake  unto  him,  saying,  *  I  am  the 
God  of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Isaac,    and    the    God    of    Jacob? 

27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living :  ye   do  greatly 


XII:  28-34. 
28  And  one  of  the  scribes  came, 
and   heard    them    questioning    to- 
gether, and  knowing  that  he  had 
answered  them   well,  asked  him, 


What  commandment  is  the  first  of 
all?  29 Jesus  answered,  The  first 
is,  *  Hear,  Ο  Israel ;  *  The  Lord 
our  God,  the  Lord  is  one  :  30and 
thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God 
*  with  all  thy  heart,  and  *  with  all 
thy  soul,  and  "with  all  thy  mind, 
and  *  With  all  thy  strength. 

si  The 
second  is  this,  "Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  There  is 
none  other  commandment  greater 
than  these.

Matthew. 

his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto 
his  brother. 

25  Now  there 
were  with  us  seven  brethren:  and 
the  first  married  and  deceased,  and 
having  no  seed  left  his  wife  unto 
his  brother;  26  in  like  manner  the 
second  also, 

and  the  third,  unto  the 
*  seventh. 

27  And  after  them  all, 
the  woman  died.  2S  In  the  resur- 
rection therefore  whose  wife  shall 
she  be  of  the  seven?  for  they  all 
had  her.  M  But  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  Ye  do  err,  not 
knowing  the  scriptures,  nor  the 
power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resur- 
rection they  neither  marry,  nor  are 
given  in  marriage,  but  are  as  an- 
gels *  in  heaven. 

31  But  as  touching 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  have 
ye  not  read  that  which  was  spoken 
unto  you  by  God, 

saying,  32  *  I  am  the 
God  of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Isaac,   and    the    God    of    Jacob? 

God  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living. 

33  And  when  the 
multitudes  heard  it,  they  were  as- 
tonished at  his  teaching. 

The  Greatest  Commandment. 

XXII:  34-40. 

34  But  the  Pharisees,  when  they 
heard  that  he  had  put  the  Sad- 
ducees  to  silence,  gathered  them- 
selves together.  ^And  one  of 
them,  a  lawyer,  asked  him  a  ques- 
tion, trying  him  :  36  Teacher,  which 
is  the  great  commandment  in  the 
law?     37And    he  said  unto  him, 


Luke. 


113 


raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 
29  There  were  therefore  seven 
brethren :  and  the  first  took  a 
wife,   and  died  childless ; 


so  and 
the  second : 

31  and  the  third  took 
her ;  and  likewise  the  seven  also 
left  no  children,  and  died.  32  After- 
ward the  woman  also  died.  ^  In 
the  resurrection  therefore  whose 
wife  of  them  shall  she  be  ?  for 
the  seven  had  her  to  wife.  34  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  The  sons  of 
this  "world  marry,  and  are  given 
in  marriage :  &  but  they  that  are 
accounted  worthy  to  attain  to  that 
"world,  and  the  resurrection  from 
the  dead,  neither  marry,  nor  are 
given  in  marriage:  ^for  neither 
can  they  die  any  more :  for  they 
are  equal  unto  the  angels  ;  and  are 
sons  of  God,  being  sons  of  the 
resurrection.  37  But  that  the  dead 
are  raised,  even  Moses  showed,  in 
'■'the  place  concerning  the  Bush, 
when  he  calleth  the  Lord  the  God 
of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Isaac,    and    the    God    of    Jacob. 

38  Now  he  is  not  the  God  of  the 
dead,  but  of  the  living :  for  all 
live  unto  him. 


*  Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God 
with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all 
thy  soul  and  with  all  thy  mind. 
38  This  is  the  great  and  first  com- 
mandment. 39  *  And  a  second  like 
unto  it  is  this,  "Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbor  as  thyself.  40On  these  two 
commandments  the  whole  law 
hangeth,  and   the  prophets. 


XX:  39,  40;  X:  25-28. 

20  39And  certain  of  the  scribes 
answering  said,  Teacher,  Thou 
hast  well  said. 

10  2S  And  behold,  a  certain 
lawyer  stood  up  and  made  trial  oi 
him,  saying,  Teacher,  what  shall 
I  do  to  inherit  eternal  life  ?  26And 
he  said  unto  him,  What  is  written 
in  the  law  ?  how  readest  thou  ? 
27  And  he  answering  said, 
:Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God 
*with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all 
thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  strength, 
and  with  all  thy  mind; 

"  and  thy  η  ei  g  h  b  ο  r  as  thyself. 
^And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou 
hast  answered  right:  this  do,  and 
thou  shalt  live.

Matthew. 


Luke. 


32  And  the  scribe  said 
unto  him,  Of  a  truth,  Teacher, 
thou  hast  well  said  that  he  is  one; 
and   there  is  none  other  but  he : 

33  and  to  love  him  with  all  the 
heart,  and  with  all  the  understand- 
ing, and  with  all  the  strength, 
and  to  love  his  neighbor  as  him- 
self, is  much  more  than  all  whole 
burnt-offerings  and  sacrifices. 

34  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he 
answered  discreetly,  he  said  unto 
him,  Thou  art  not  far  from  the 
kingdom  of  God.  And  no  man 
after  that  durst  ask  him  any  ques- 
tion. 


20  40  For  they  durst 
not  any  more  ask  him  any  ques- 
tion. 

The  Good  Samaritan. 

X:  29-37. 

29  But  he,  desiring  to  justify  him- 
self, said  unto  Jesus,  And  who  is 
my  neighbor?  30  Jesus  made  an- 
swer and  said,  A  certain  man  was 
going  down  from  Jerusalem  to  Jer- 
icho; and  he  fell  among  robbers, 
who  both  stripped  him  and  beat 
him,  and  departed,  leaving  him 
halt  dead.  31  And  by  chance  a 
certain  priest  was  going  down  that 
way:  and  when  he  saw  him,  he 
passed  by  on  the  other  side.  32And 
in  hue  manner  a  Levite  also,  when 
he  came  to  the  place,  and  saw  him, 
passed  by  on  the  other  side.  33But 
a  certain  Samaritan,  as  he  jour- 
neyed, came  where  he  was:  and 
when  he  saw  him  he  was  moved  with 
compassion,  M  and  came  to  him, and 
bound  up  his  wounds,  pouring  on 
them  oil  and  wine;  and  he  set  him 
on  his  own  beast,  and  brought  him 
to  an  inn,  and  took  care  of  him. 
35  And  on  the  morrow  he  took  out 
two  *  shillings,  and  gave  them  to 
the  host,  and  said,  Take  care  of 
him;  and  whatsoever  thou  spend- 
est  more,  I,  when  I  come  back 
again,  will  repay  thee.  36  Which 
of  these  three,  thinkest  thou, 
proved  neighbor  unto  him  that  fell 
among  the  robbers?  37  And  he  said, 
He  that  showed  mercy  on  him. 
And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Go,  and 
do  thou  likewise. 


Mark. 


Matthew. 


Luke.

XII:  35-37. 
35  And  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
as  he  taught  in   the  temple,  How 
say  the  scribes  that  the  Christ  is  the 
son  of  David  ? 


36  David  himself  said 
in  the  Holy  Spirit, 

*  The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
Till  I  make  thine  enemies  "the 
footstool  of  thy  feet. 
87  David  himself  c  a  1 1  e  t  h  him 
Lord;  and  whence  is  he  his  son? 
And  *  the  common    people  heard 
him  gladly. 


The  Lordship  of  Messiah. 

XXII:  41-46. 

41  Now  while  the  Pharisees  were 
gathered  together,  Jesus  asked  them 
a  question,  a  saying,  What  think 
ye  of  the  Christ  ?  whose  son  is  he  ? 
They  say  unto  him,  The  son  of 
David.  *3  He  saith  unto  them, 
How  then  doth  David  in  the  Spirit 
call  him  Lord,  saying, 

44  "The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
Till  I  put  thine  enemies  un- 
derneath thy  feet? 

45  If  David  then  calleth  him 
Lord,  how  is  he  his  son?  ^And 
no  one  was  able  to  answer  him  a 
word,  neither  durst  any  man  from 
that  day  forth  ask  him  any  more 
questions. 


XX:  41-44. 
41  And  he  said  unto  them, 


How 
say  they  that  the  Christ  is  David's 
son? 

42  For  David  himself  saith  in 
the  book  of  Psalms, 

*  The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
43  Till  I  make  thine  enemies 
the  footstool  of  thy  feet. 
44  David    therefore   calleth   him 
Lord,  and  how  is  he  his  son  ? 


Beginning  of  the  Speech  Against  Pharisaism. 


XII :  38,  39. 


XXIII:   1-12. 


1  And  in  his  teachings  he  said, 


Beware  of  the  scribes  who  de- 
sire to  walk  in  long  robes,  and  to 
have  salutations  in  the  market 
places,  39  and  chief  seats  in  the  syna- 
gogues, and  chief  places  at  feasts  : 


JThen  spake  Jesus  to  the  multi- 
tudes and  to  his  disciples,  2saying, 
The  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  sit 
on  Moses'  seat :  3all  things  there- 
fore whatsoever  they  bid  you, 
these  do  and  observe  :  but  do  not 
ye  after  their  works  ;  for  they  say, 
and  do  not. 

4  Yea,  they  bind  heavy 
burdens  "and  grievous  to  borne, 
and  lay  them  on  men's  shoulders; 
but  they  themselves  will  not  move 
them  with  their  finger.  5But  all 
their  works  they  do  to  be  seen  of 
men :  for  they  make  broad  their 
phylacteries,  and  enlarge  the  bor- 
ders of  their  garments, 


6 and  love 
the  chief  place  at  feasts,  and  the 


chiet  seats  in  the  synagogues,  7and 
the  salutations  in  the  market-places, 


XI :  37-39a,  43, 46 ;  XX  :  45,  46. 

11  37Now  as  he  spake, a  Phari- 
see asketh  him  to  :dine  with  him  : 
and  he  went  in, and  sat  down  to 
meat.  ^And  when  the  Pharisee 
saw  it,  he  marvelled  that  he  had 
not  first  bathed  himself  before  "din- 
ner. s^And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him, 

20  4δ  And  in  the  hearing  of  all 
the  people  he  said  unto  his  disci- 
ples, 


11  46And  he  said,  Woe  unto 
you  lawyers  also  !  for  ye  load  men 
with  burdens  grievous  to  be  borne, 
and   ye   yourselves    touch  not  the 

burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers. 


20  46  Beware  of  the  scribes,  who 
desire  to  walk  in  long  robes,  and 
love  salutations  in  the  market 
places,  and  chief  seats  in  the  syna- 
gogues, and  chief  places  at  feasts: 
11  43Woe  unto  you  Pharisees! 
for  ye  love  the  chief  seats  in  the 
synagogues,  and  the  salutations  in 
the  market-places.

13  But  woe  unto  you,  scribes  and

shut  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
"against  men  :  for  ye  enter  not  in

15  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  for  ye  com-

proselyte  ;  and  when  he  is  become 
so,  ye  make  him  two  fold  more  a 
son  of  *  hell  than  yourselves. 

16  Woe  unto  you,  ye  blind  guides, 
that  say,  Whosoever  shall  swear 
by  the  *  temple,  it  is  nothing  ;  but 
whosoever  shall  swear  by  the  gold 
of  the  temple,  he  is  "a  debtor.

the  altar,  it  is  nothing ;  but  who- 
soever shall  swear  by  the  gift  that 
is  upon  it,  he  is  a  debtor.  19Ye 
blind  :  for  which  is  greater,  the 
gift,  or  the  altar  that  sanctifieth  the 
gift  ?  20  He  therefore  that  swear  - 
eth  by  the  altar,  sweareth  by  it, 
and  by  all  things  thereon.  21  And 
he  that  sweareth  by  the  temple, 
sweareth  by  it,  and  by  him  that

25  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye  cleanse 
the  outside  of  the  cup  and  of  the 
platter,  but  within  they  are  full 
from  extortion  and  excess.  26  Thou 
blind  Pharisee,  cleanse  first  the  in- 
side of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter, 
that  the  outside  thereof  may  be- 
come clean  also. 


27  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites !  for  ye  are 
like  unto  whited  sepulchres,  which 
outwardly  appear  beautiful,  but 
inwardly  are  full  of  dead  men's 
bones,  and  of  all  uncleanness. 
28  Even  so  ye  also  outwardly  ap- 
pear righteous  unto  men,  but  in- 
wardly ye  are  full  of  hypocrisy  and 
iniquity. 

29  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  for  ye  build 
the  sepulchres  of  the  prophets,  and 
garnish  the  tombs  of  the  righteous, 
30  and  say,  If  we  had  been  in  the 
days  of  our  fathers,  we  should  not 
have  been  partakers  with  them  in 
the  blood  of  the  prophets.  31  Where- 
fore ye  witness  to  yourselves,  that 
ye  are  sons  of  them  that  slew  the 
prophets. 


Luke. 


117 


11  a  But  woe  unto  you  Phari- 
sees! for  ye  tithe  mint  and  rue  and 
every  herb,  and  pass  over  justice 
and  the  love  of  God  : 

but  these  ought  ye 
to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave 
the  other  undone. 


393Now  ye  the 
Pharisees  cleanse  the  outside  of  the 
cup  and  of  the  platter;  but  your 
inward  part  is  full  of  extortion 
and  wickedness.  <°  Ye  foolish  ones, 
did  not  he  that  made  the  outside 
make  the  inside  also  ?  41  But  give 
for  alms  those  things  which  "are 
within  ;  and  behold  all  things  are 
clean  unto  you. 

44  Woe  unto  you  ! 
for  ye  are  as  the  tombs  which  ap- 
pear not,  and  the  men  that  walk 
over  them  know  it  not. 


47  Woe  unto 
you  !  for  ye  build  the  tombs  of  the 
prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed 
them.  i8  So  ye  are  witnesses  and 
consent  unto  the  works  of  your 
fathers  :  for  they  killed  them,  and 
ye  build  their  tombs. 


45  And  one  of  the  lawyers  an- 
swering saith  unto  him,  Teacher, 
in  saying  this  thou  reproachest  us 
also.

your  fathers.  ^Ye  serpents,  ye 
offspring  of  vipers,  how  shall  ye 
escape  the  judgment  of  *  hell  ? 
54  Therefore,  behold,  I  send  unto 
you  prophets,  and  wise  men,  and 
scribes :  some  of  them  shall  ye  kill 
and  crucify  ;  and  some  of  them 
shall    ye    scourge    in    your  syna-

poor  widow  casting  in  thither  two 
mites.

1  And  as  he  went  forth  out  of  the 
temple,  one  of  his  disciples  saith 
unto  him,  Teacher,  behold,  what 
manner  of  stones  and  what  man- 
ner of  buildings  !  2  And  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  Seest  thou  these 
great  buildings  ? 

there  shall  not  be  left  here 
one  stone  upon  another,  which  shall 
not  be  thrown  down.

temple,  and  was  going  on  his  way; 
and  his  disciples  came  to  him  to 
show  him  the  buildings  of  the 
temple.  2  But  he  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  See  ye  not  all 
these  things?  verily  I  say  unto 
you,  There  shall  not  be  left  here 
one  stone  upon  another,  that  shall 
not  be  thrown  down.

XIII:  5-8. 
5  And  Jesus  began  to  say  unto 
them,  Take  heed  that  no  man 
lead  you  astray.  6  Many  shall 
come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am 
he;  and  shall  lead  many  astray. 

7  And  when  ye  shall  hear  of 
wars  and  rumors  of  wars,  be  not 
troubled  :  these  things  must  needs 
come  to  pass  ;  but  the  end  is  not 
yet. 

8  For  nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  king- 
dom ;  there  shall  be  earthquakes 
in  divers  places ;  there  shall  be 
famines  : 


these  things   are  the 
jinning    of  travail.

4  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Take  heed  that  no  man 
lead  you  astray.  6For  many  shall 
come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  the 
Christ ;  and  shall  lead  many  astray. 

6  And  ye  shall  hear  of 
wars  and  rumors  of  wars  ;  see  that 
ye  be  not  troubled  :  for  these  things 
must  needs  come  to  pass  ;  but  the 
end  is  not  yet. 

7  For  nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  king- 
dom ;  and  there  shall  be  famines 
and  earthquakes  in  divers  places. 


s  But  all  these  things  are  the 
beginning  of    travail.

8  And  he  said, 

Take  heed  that  ye 
be  not  led  astray  :  for  many  shall 
come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am 
he;  and,  The  time  is  at  hand  :  go 
ye  not  after  them. 

9  And  when  ye  shall  hear  of 
wars  and  tumults,  be  not  terrified : 
for  these  things  must  needs  come 
to  pass  first ;  but  the  end  is  not 
immediately. 

10  Then     said     he   unto     them., 

Nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  king- 
dom ;  nand  there  shall  be  great 
earthquakes,  and  in  divers  places 
famines  and  pestilences  ;  and  there 
shall  be  terrors  and  great  signs

(b)  Exhortation  for  the  Beginning  of  the  Distress. 


XIII:  9-13. 

9  But  take  ye  heed  to  yourselves  ; 
for  they  shall  deliver  you  up  to 
councils ;  and  in  synagogues  shall 
ye  be  beaten  ;  and  before  govern- 
ors and  kings  shall  ye  stand  for 
my  sake,  for  a  testimony  unto 
them.  10  And  the  *  gospel  must 
first  be  preached  unto  all  the  na- 
tions. n  And  when  they  lead  you 
to  judgment,  and  deliver  you  up, 
be  not  anxious  beforehand  what 
ye  shall  speak ;  but  whatsoever 
shall  be  given  you  in  that  hour, 
that  speak  ye  ;  for  it  is  not  ye  that 
speak,  but  the  Holy  Spirit.  12  And 
brother  shall  deliver  up  ^brother 
to  death,  and  the  father  his  child  ; 
and  children  shall  rise  up  against 
parents,  and  *cause  them  to  be  put 
to  death.  13And  ye  shall  be  hated 
of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake  : 


XXIV:  9-14. 

9  Then  shall  they  deliver  you  up 
unto  tribulation, 


and  shall  kill  you  : 
and  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  the 
nations  for  my  name's  sake. 


XXI :  12-19. 

12  But  before  all  these  things, 
they  shall  lay  their  hands  on  you, 
and  shall  persecute  you,  delivering 
you  up  to  the  synagogues  and  pris- 
ons, ''bringing  you  before  kings 
and  governors  for  my  name' s  sake . 
13  It  shall  turn  out  unto  you  for  a 
testimony.  14  Settle  it  therefore 
in  your  hearts,  not  to  meditate  be- 
forehand how  to  answer  :  1δ  for  I 
will  give  you  a  mouth  and  wisdom, 
which  all  your  adversaries  shall 
not  be  able  to  withstand  or  to 
gainsay. 

16  But  ye  shall  be  "delivered 
up  even  by  parents,  and  brethren, 
and  kinsfolk,  and  friends;  and.  some 
of  you  '::shall  they  cause  to  be  put 
to  death.  17  And  ye  shall  be  hated 
of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake.

but  he  that  endur- 
eth  to  the  end,  the  same  shall  be 
saved.

14  But  when  ye    see  the  abomi- 
nation of  desolation 

standing  where  he 
ought  not  (let  him  that  readeth  un- 
derstand), then  let  them  that  are  in 
Judsea  flee  unto  the  mountains : 
15  and  let  him  that  is  on  the  house- 
top not  go  down  nor  enter  in,  to 
take  anything  out  of  his  house  : 
16and  let  him  that  is  in  the  field 
not  return  back  to  take  his  cloak. 

17  But  woe  unto  them  that  are  with 
child  and  to  them  that  give  suck 
in  those  days  !  18And  pray  ye  that 
it  be  not  in  the  winter. 

19  For  those  days 
shall  be  tribulation,  such  as  there 
hath  not  been  the  like  from  the 
beginning  of  the  creation  which 
God  created  until  now,  and 
never  shall  be.  20  And  except  the 
Lord  had  shortened  the  days,  no 
flesh  would  have  been  saved; 
but  for  the  elect's  sake,  whom  he 
chose,  he  shortened  the  days. 


Matthew. 


10  And  then  shall  many  stumble, 
and  shall  "deliver  up  one  another, 
and  shall  hate  one  another.  u  And 
many  false  prophets  shall  arise, 
and  shall  lead  many  astray.  12  And 
because  iniquity  shall  be  multi- 
plied, the  love  of  the  many  shall 
wax  cold.  13  But  he  that  endur- 
eth  to  the  end,  the  same  shall  be 
saved.  14  And  this  gospel  of  the 
kingdom  shall  be  preached  in  the 
whole  *world  for  a  testimony  unto 
all  the  nations  ;  and  then  shall  the 
end  come.

is  When  therefore  ye  see  the 
abomination  of  desolation,  which 
was  "spoken  of  through  Daniel  the 
prophet,  standing  in  *  the  holy 
place  (let  him  that  readeth  under- 
stand), 16then  let  them  that  are  in 
Judiea  flee   unto  the     mountains  : 

17  let  him  that  is  on  the  house- 
top not  go  down  to  take  out  the 
things    that    are    in    his     house  :

not  return  back  to  take  his  cloak. 

19But  woe  unto  them  that  are  with 
child  and  to  them  that  give  suck 
in  those  days!  20And  pray  ye  that 
your  flight  be  not  in  the  winter, 
neither  on  a  sabbath :  21  for  then 
shall  be  great  tribulation,  such  as 
hath  not  been  from  the  begin- 
ning of  the  world  until  now,  no,  nor 

ever  shall  be.  22  And  except  those 
days  had  been  shortened,  no 
flesh  would  have  been  saved: 
but  for  the  elect' s 
sake  those  days  shall  be  shortened.

20  But  when  ye  see  Jerusalem 
compassed  with  armies,  then  know 
that  her  desolation  is  at  hand. 


21  Then  let  them  that  are  in 
Judsea  flee  unto  the  mountains ; 
and  let  them  that  are  in  the  midst 
of  her  depart  out  ;  and  let  not  them 
that  are  in  the  country  enter  there- 
in. 22  For  these  are  days  of  venge- 
ance, that  all  things  which  are 
written  may  be  fulfilled. 

23  Woe  unto  them  that  are  with 
child  and  to  them  that  give  suck 
in  those  days  ! 

for  there  shall  be 
great  distress  upon  the  *  land,  and 
wrath  unto  this  people. 


24  And  they  shall 
fall  by  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
shall  be  led  captive  into  all  the 
nations  :  and  Jerusalem  shall  be 
trodden  down  of  the  Gentiles, 
until  the  times  of  the  Gentiles  be 
fulfilled.

say  unto  you,  Lo,  here  is  the 
Christ ;  or,  Lo,  there ;  believe  *  it 
not :  22  for  there  shall  arise  false 
Christs  and  false  prophets,  and 
shall  show  signs  and  won- 

ders, that  they  may  lead  astray,  if 
possible,  the  elect.  M  But  take  ye 
heed :  behold,  I  have  told  you 
all  things  beforehand. 


XIII:  24-27.

20  And  being  asked  by  the  Phar- 
isees, when  the  kingdom  of  God 
cometh,  he  answered  them  and 
said,  The  kingdom  of  God  cometh 
not  with  observation  :  21  neither 
shall  they  say,  Lo,  here  !  or, 
There  !  for  lo,  the  kingdom  of 
God  is  *  within  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples, 
The  days  will  come,  when  ye  shall 
desire  to  see  one  of  the  days  of  the 
Son  of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it. 

The  Day  of  the  Son  of  Man. 

XXIV  :  26-27.  XVII :  23-25. 


26  If  therefore  they  shall  say  unto 
you,  Behold,  he  is  in  the  wilder- 
ness ;  go  not  forth':  Behold,  he  is 
in  the  inner  chambers  ;  believe  "it 
not.  27For  as  the  lightning  com- 
eth forth  from  the  east,  and  is  seen 
even  unto  the  west ;

shall  not  give  her  light, and  the  stars 
shall  fall  from  heaven, 


23  And  they  shall  say  to  you, 
Lo,  there  !  Lo,  here  !  go  not  away, 
nor  follow  after  them  . 

24  for  as  the  lightning,  when  it 
lighteneth  out  of  the  one  part  under 
the  heaven,  shineth  unto  the 
other  part  under  heaven  ;  so  shall

he  shall  send  forth  his  angels  *with 
*  a  great  sound  of  a  trumpet,  and 
they  shall  gather  together  his  elect 
from  the  four  winds,  from  one  end 

of  heaven  to  the  other.

until  the  day  that  Noah  entered 
into  the  ark,  39and  they  knew  not

Sodom  it  rained  fire  and  brimstone

it  be  in  the  day  that  the  Son  of  man

shall  be  on  the  housetop,  and  his 
goods  in  the  house,  let  him  not 
go  down  to  take  them  away  :  and 
let  him  that  is  in  the  field  likewise 
not  return  back.  32  Remember

seek  to  gain  his  life  shall  lose  it :

The  Parable  of  the  Godless 
Judge. 

XVIII  :  1-8. 
xAnd  he  spake  a  parable  unto 
them  to  the  end  that  they  ought 
always  to  pray,  and  not  to  faint  ; 
2saying,  There  was  in  a  city  a  judge, 
who  feared  not  God,  and  regarded 
not  man  :  3  and  there  was  a 
widow  in  that  city;  and  she  came 
oft  unto  him,  saying,  *  Avenge  me 
of  mine  adversary.  4  And  he  would 
not  for  a  while  :  but  afterward  he 
said  within  himself,  Though  I  fear 
not  God,  nor  regard  man  ;  5  yet 
because  this  widow  troubleth  me, 
I  will  avenge  her,  "lest  she  :  wear 
me  out  by  her  continual  coming. 
6  And  the  Lord  said,  Hear  what 
*  the  unrighteous  judge  saith.  7And 
shall  not  God  avenge  his  elect, 
that  cry  to  him  day  and  night,  *and 
yet  he  is  long  suffering  over  them? 
8 1  say  unto  you.  that  he  will 
avenge  them  speedily.  Neverthe- 
less, when  the  Son  of  man  cometh, 
shall  he  find  "  faith  on  the  earth  ?

XXIV:  45-51. 


45  Who  then  is  the  faithful  and 
wise  "servant,  whom  his  lord  hath 
set  over  his  household,  to  give 
them  their  food  in  due  season? 
46  Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom 
his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find 
so  doing.  47  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  that  he  will  set  him  over  all 
that  he  hath.  48But  if  that  evil 
servant  shall  say  in  his  heart,  My 
lord  tarrieth  ;  49  And  shall 
begin  to 

beat  his  fellow-servants. 
and  shall 
eat  and  drink  with  the  drunken  ; 
50  the  lord  of  that  servant  shall 
come  in  a  day  when  he  expecteth 
not,  and  in  an  hour  when  he 
knoweth  not,  51  and  shall  *  cut  him 
asunder,  and  appoint  his  portion

be  the  weeping  and  the  gnashing

Watchful  Servants. 

XII  :  37-40. 

37  Blessed  are  those  '"servants, 
whom  the  Lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  watching  :  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  that  he  shall  gird  him- 
self, and  make  them  sit  down  to 
meat,  and  shall  come  and  serve 
them,  s*  And  if  he  shall  come  in 
the  second  watch,  and  if  in  the 
third,  and  find  them  so,  blessed 
are  those  servants. 


39*But  know  this,  that  if  the 
master  of  the  house  had  known  in 
what  hour  the  thief  was  coming, 
he  would  have  watched,  and 
not  have  left  his  house  to  be 
"broken  through.  40  Be 

ye  also  ready  :  for  in  an  hour  that 
ye  think  not  the  Son  of  man  com-

XII  :  41-46. 

41  And  Peter  said,  Lord,  speak- 
est  thou  this  parable  unto  us,  or 
even  unto  all  ?  42  And  the  Lord  said, 
Who  then  is  *  the  faithful  and 
wise  steward,  whom  his  lord  shall 
set  over  his  household,  to  give 
them  their  portion  of  food  in  due 
season  ?  43  Blessed  is  that  ''servant, 
whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  so  doing.  **  Of  a  truth  I 
say  unto  you,  that  he  will  set  him 
over  all  that  he  hath. 45  But  if  that 
servant  shall  say  in  his  heart,  My 
lorddelayeth  his  coming  ;  and  shall 
begin    to 

beat  the  menservants 
and  the  maidservants,  and  to 
eat  and  drink,  and  to  be  drunken  ; 
46  the  lord  of  that  servant  shall 
come  in  a  day  when  he  expecteth 
not,  and  in  an  hour  when  he 
knoweth  not,  and  shall  "cut  him

his  will,  shall  be  beaten  with  many

stripes;  48 but  he  that  knew  not, 
and  did  things  worthy  of  stripes, 
shall  be  beaten  with  few  stripes. 
And  to  whomsoever  much  is  given, 
of  him  shall  much  be  required  : 
and  to  whom  they  commit  much, 
of  him  will  they  ask  the  more. 
17  7  But  who  is  there  of  you,  hav- 
ing a  *  servant  plowing  or  keeping 
sheep,  that  will  say  unto  him, 
when  he  is  come  in  from  the  field, 
Come  straightway  and  sit  down  to 
meat  ;  8  and  will  not  rather  say 
unto  him,  Make  ready  wherewith 
I  may  sup,  and  gird  thyself,  and 
serve  me,  till  I  have  eaten  and 
drunken  ;  and  afterward  thou  shalt 
eat  and  drink  ?  9  Doth  he  thank 
the  servant  because  he  did  the 
things  that  were  commanded  ? 
10  Even  so  ye  also,  when  ye  shall 
have  done  all  the  things  that  are 
commanded  you,  say,  We  are 
unprofitable  servants ;  we  have 
done  that  which  it  was  our  duty 
to  do. 


The  Parable  of  the  Ten  Virgins. 


XXV:  1-13. 
1Then  shall  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  be  likened  unto  ten  virgins, 
who  took  their  *  lamps,  and  went 
forth  to  meet  the  bridegroom. 
3  And  five  of  them  were  foolish, 
and  five  were  wise.  3  For  the 
foolish,  when  they  took  their  lamps, 
took  no  oil  with  them:  Λ  but  the 
wise  took  oil  in  their  vessels  with 
their  lamps.  5  Now  while  the 
bridegroom  tarried,  they  all  slum- 
bered and  slept.  6  But  at  mid- 
night there  is  a  cry,  Behold,  the 
bridegroom !  Come  ye  forth  to 
meet  him.  7Then  all  those  vir- 
gins arose,  and  trimmed  their 
lamps.  8And  the  foolish  said 
unto  the  wise,  Give  us  of  your 
oil ;  for  our  lamps  are    going  out. 


XII  :  35,  36  ;  XIII  :  25. 


12  35Let  your  loins  be  girded 
about,  and  your  lamps  burning ; 
36  and  be  ye  yourselves  like  unto 
men  looking  for  their  lord,  when 
he  shall  return  from  the  marriage 
feast  ;  that,  when  he  cometh  and 
knocketh,  they  may  straightway 
open  unto  him.

Mark. 


Matthew. 

9  But  the  wise  answered,  saying, 
Peradventure  there  will  not  be 
enough  for  us  and  you :  go  ye 
rather  to  them  that  sell,  and  buy 
for  yourselves.  10  And  while  they 
went  away  to  buy,  the  bridegroom 
came ;  and  they  that  were  ready 
went  in  with  him  to  the  marriage 
feast :    and    the    door    was    shut. 


11  Afterward  came  also  the  other 
virgins,  saying,  Lord,  Lord,  open 
to  us.  12  But  he  answered  and 
said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  know 
you  not.  13  Watch  therefore,  for 
ye  know  not  the  day  nor  the  hour. 


Luke. 


13  ,2δ  When  once  the  mas- 
ter of  the  house  is  risen  up,  and 
hath  shut  to  the  door,  and  ye  begin 
to  stand  without,  and  to  knock 
at  the  door,  saying,  Lord,  open 
to  us ;  and  he  shall  answer  and 
say  to  you,  I  know 
you  know  not  whence  ye  are. 


The  Parable  of  the  Talents. 


XXV  :  14-30. 


14  For  it  is  as  when  a  man,  going 
into  another  country, 

called  his  own  "servants, 
and  delivered  unto  them  his  goods. 
15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  tal- 
ents, to  another  two,  to  another 
one  ;  to  each  according  to  his  sev- 
eral ability  ;  and  he  went  on  his 
journey.  16  Straightway  he  that  re- 
ceived the  five  talents  went  and 
traded  with  them,  and  made  other 
five  talents.  17  In  like  manner  he 
also  that  received  the  two  gained 
other  two.  18  But  he  that  received 
the  one  went  away  and  digged  in  the 
earth,  and  hid  his  lord's  money. 
19  Now  after  a  long  time  the  lord 
of  those  servants  cometh,  and  mak- 
eth  a  reckoning  with  them. 


20  And 
he  that  received  the  five  talents, 
came  and  brought  other  five  talents, 


XIX:  11-27. 

11  And  as  they  heard  these  things, 
he  added  and  spake  a  parable,  be- 
cause he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem, 
and  because  they  supposed  that 
the  kingdom  of  God  was  imme- 
diately to  appear.  12  He  said  there- 
fore, A  certain  nobleman  went 
into  a  far  country,  to  receive  for 
himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  return. 
13  And  he  called  ten  *  servants  ot 
his,  and  gave  them  ten  "pounds, 
and  said  unto  them,  Trade  ye 
herewith  till  I  come. 


14  But  his  citi- 
zens hated  him,  and  sent  an  am• 
bassage  after  him,  saying,  We  will 
not  that  this  man  reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  back  again,  having  re- 
ceived the  kingdom,  that  he  com- 
manded these  servants,  unto  whom 
he  had  given  the  money,  to  be 
called  to  him,  that  he  might  know 
what  they  had  gained  by  trading. 

16  And  the  first  came  before  him, 


Mark. 


Matthew. 

saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto 
me  five  talents  :  lo,  I  have  gained 
other  five  talents.  21  His  lord  said 
unto  him,  Well  done, good  and  faith- 
ful servant :  thou  hast  been  faithful 
over  a  few  things,  I  will  set  thee 
over  many  things  ;  enter  thou  into 
the  joy  of  thy  lord.  22  And  he  also 
that  received  the  two  talents  came 
and  said,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst 
unto  me  two  talents  :  lo,  I  have 
gained  other  two  talents.  23  His 
lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done, 
good  and  faithful  servant  :  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things, 
I  will  set  thee  over  many  things  ; 
enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord. 
24  And  he  also  that  had  received 
the  one  talent  came  and  said, 
Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou  art  a 
hard  man,  reaping  where  thou 
didst  not  sow,  and  gathering  where 
thou  didst  not  scatter ;  2δ  and  I 
was  afraid,  and  went  away  and 
hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth  :  lo, 
thou  hast  thine  own.  26  But  his 
lord  answered  and  said  unto  him, 


Thou  wicked  and  slothful  servant, 
thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I 
sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I  did 
not  scatter ; 

27  thou  oughtest  there- 
fore to  have  put  my  money  to  the 
bankers,  and  at  my  coming  I 
should  have  received  back  mine 
own  with  interest. 

28  Take  ye  away  therefore  the 
talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto 
him  that  hath  the  ten  talents. 

2»For 
unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be 
given,  and  he  shall  have  abun- 
dance :  but  from  him  that  hath  not, 
even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be 
taken  away.  so  And  cast  ye  out 
the  unprofitable  servant  into  the 
outer  darkness  :  there  shall  be  the 
weeping  and  the  gnashing  of  teeth. 


Luke. 


127 


saying,     Lord,     thy    pound     hath 

made  ten  pounds  more.  17  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Well  done,  thou 
good  servant :  because  thou  wast 
found  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have 
thou  authority  over  ten  cities. 

18  And  the  second  came, 
saying,  Thy  pound,  Lord,  hath 
made  five  pounds.  19  And  he  said 
unto  him  also,  Be  thou  also  over 
five  cities. 


20  And  *  another  came,  saying, 
Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound 
which  I  kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin : 
21  for  I  feared  thee,  because  thou 
art  an  austere  man :  thou  takest 
up  that  which  thou  layest  not 
down,  and  reapest  that  which  thou 
didst  not  sow. 

He  saith  unto  him. 
Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will  I 
judge  thee,  thou  wicked  servant. 
Thou  knewest  that  I  am  an  aus- 
tere man,  taking  up  that  which  I 
laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that 
which  I  did  not  sow  ;  23  then 
wherefore  gavest  thou  not  my 
money  into  the  bank,  and  *I  at 
my  coming  should  have  required 
it  with  interest?  24And  he  said 
unto  them  that  stood  by,  Take 
away  from  him  the  pound,  and 
give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the 
ten  pounds.  25And  they  said 
unto  him,  Lord,  he  hath  ten 
pounds.  26I  say  unto  you,  that 
unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be 
given ;  but  from  him  that  hath 
not,  even  that  which  he  hath  shall 
be  taken  away  from  him. 


27  But  these  mine  enemies,  that 
would  not  that  I  should  reign  over 
them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them 
before  me.

I  say  unto  you  I  say  unto  all, 
Watch. 


31  But  when  the  Son  of  man 
shall  come  in  his  glory,  and  all 
the  angels  with  him,  then  shall 
he  sit  on  the  throne  of  his  glory  : 
32  and  before  him  shall  be  gathered 
all  the  nations :  and  he  shall  sep- 
arate them  one  from  another,  as 
the  shepherd  separateth  the  sheep 
from  the  goats ;  33  and  he  shall 
set  the  sheep  on  his  right  hand, 
but  the  goats  on  the  left.  34  Then 
shall  the  King  say  unto  them  on 
his  right  hand,  Come,  ye  blessed 
of  my  Father,  inherit  the  king- 
dom prepared  for  you  from  the 
foundation  of  the  world  :  3S  for  I 
was  hungry,  and  ye  gave  me  to 
eat ;  I  was  thirsty,  and  ye  gave 
me  drink  ;  I  was  a  stranger,  and 
ye  took  me  in  ;  S6  naked,  and  ye 
clothed  me  ;  I  was  sick,  and  ye 
visited  me;  I  was  in  prison,  and- 
ye  came  unto  me.  37Then  shall 
the  righteous  answer  him,  saying, 
Lord,  when  saw  we  thee  hungry, 
and  fed  thee  ?  or  athirst,  and  gave 
thee  drink  ?  S8  And  when  saw  we 
thee  a  stranger,  and  took  thee  in? 
or  naked,  and  clothed  thee  ?  S9And 
when  saw  we  thee  sick,  or  in 
prison,  and  came  unto  thee  ?  40And 
the  King  shall  answer  and  say 
unto  them,  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Inasmuch  as  ye  did  it  unto  one  of 


34  But  take  heed  to  yourselves, 
lest  haply  your  hearts  be  over- 
charged with  surfeiting,  and  drunk- 
enness, and  cares  of  this  life,  and 
that  day  come  on  you  suddenly 
as  a  snare :  x  for  so  shall  it  come 
upon  all  them  that  dwell  on  the 
face  of  all  the  earth.  36  But 
watch  ye  at  every  season,  making 
supplication,  that  ye  may  prevail 
to  escape  all  these  things  that  shall 
come  to  pass,  and  to  stand  before 
the  Son  of  man.

these  my  brethren,  even  these 
least,  ye  did  it  unto  me.  41  Then 
shall  he  say  also  unto  them  on  the 
left  hand,  *  Depart  from  me,  ye 
cursed,  into  the  eternal  fire  which 
is  prepared  for  the  devil  and  his 
angels  :  42  for  I  was  hungry,  and  ye 
did  not  give  me  to  eat  ;  I  was 
thirsty,  and  ye  gave  me  no  drink; 
43  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye  took 
me  not  in  ;  naked,  and  ye  clothed 
me  not ;  sick,  and  in  prison,  and 
ye  visited  me  not.  **  Then  shall 
they  also  answer,  saying,  Lord, 
when  saw  we  thee*  hungry,  or 
athirst,  or  a  stranger,  or  naked, 
or  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  did  not 
minister  unto  thee  ?  ^  Then  shall 
he  answer  them,  saying,  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  Inasmuch  as  ye  did 
it  not  unto  one  of  these  least,  ye 
did  it  not  unto  me.  46And  these 
shall  go  away  into  eternal  punish- 
ment :  but  the  righteous  into  eter-

know  that  after  two  days  the  pass-

3  And  while  he  was  in  Bethany 
in  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper, 
as  he  sat  at  meat,  there  came  a 
woman  having  "an  alabaster  cruse 
of  ointment  of  "pure  nard  very 
costly  ;  and  she  brake  the  cruse, 
and  poured  it  over  his  head. 

*  But 
there  were  some  that  had  indigna- 
tion among  themselves,  saying, 
To  what  purpose  hath  this  waste  of 
the  ointment  been  made?  5  For  this 
ointment  might  have  been  sold  for 
above  three  hundred  ::  shillings, 
and  given  to  the  poor.  And  they 
murmured  against  her.  6  But  Jesus 
said,  Let  her  alone  ;  why 
trouble  ye  her  ?  she 
hath  wrought  a  good  work  on 
me.  7  For  ye  have  the  poor  al- 
ways with  you,  and  whensoever  ye 
will  ye  can  do  them  good  : 

but  me  ye  have  not 
always.  8  She  hath  done  what 
she  could  ;  she  hath  anointed  my 
body  beforehand  for  the  burying. 
'■>  And  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Wheresoever  the  gospel  shall  be 
preached  throughout  the  whole 
world,  that  also  which  this  woman 
hath  done  shall  be  spoken  of  for  a

The  Anointment  at  Bethany. 
XXVI  :  6-13. 

6Now  when  Jesus  was  in  Bethany, 
in  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper, 
7  there  came  unto  him  a  woman 
having  *  an  alabaster  cruse  of  ex- 
ceeding precious  ointment, 

and  she 
poured  it  upon  his  head,  as  "he 
sat  at  meat.  8  But  when  the  dis- 
ciples saw  it,  they  had  indigna- 
tion, saying, 

To   what    purpose   is  this  waste  ? 
9  For   this 
ointment  might  have  been  sold  for 
much, 
and  given  to  the  poor. 

10  But  Jesus 
perceiving  it  said  unto  them,  Why 
trouble  ye  the  woman  ?  for  she 
hath  wrought  a  good  work  upon 
me.  u  For  ye  have  the  poor  al- 
ways with  you  ; 

but  me  ye  have  not 
always.  12  For  in  that  she  "poured 
this  ointment  upon  my  body,  she 
did  it  to  prepare  me  for  burial. 
13  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Wheresoever  this  gospel  shall  be 
preached  in  the  whole  world, 
that  also  which  this  woman 
hath  done  shall  be  spoken  of  for  a 
memorial  of  her.

36  And  one  of  the  Pharisees  de- 
sired him  that   he    would  eat  witli 
him.      And    he    entered    into    the 
Pharisee's    house,    and  *  sat  down 
down  to  meat.      S7And  behold,  a 
woman    who    was    in    the    city,  a 
sinner  ;  and  when  she    knew  that 
he  was  sitting  at  meat  in  the  Phar- 
isee's house,  she  brought  *an  ala- 
baster  cruse  of    ointment,    S8  and 
standing  behind  at  his  feet,    weep- 
ing, she  began  to  wet  his  feet  with 
her  tears,   and    wiped    them    with 
the  hair  of  her  head,  and  *kissed 
his  feet,  and    anointed    them  with 
the  ointment.       39  Now    when  the 
Pharisee  that  had  bidden  him  saw 
it,  he  spake  within  himself,  saying, 
This  man,  if  he  were  *a  prophet, 
would    have  perceived    who   and 
what    manner    of    woman    this  is 
that  toucheth    him,    that    she  is  a 
sinner.     40  And    Jesus    answering 
said    unto    him,    Simon,    I   have 
somewhat  to  say  unto  thee.      And 
he   saith,   Teacher,   say  on.     « A 
certain  lender   had    two  debtors  : 
the  one  owed  five  hundred  *  shill- 
ings, and  the  other  fifty.    *2  When 
they  had  not    wherewith    to  pay, 
he  forgave  them  both.     Which  of 
them  therefore  will  love  him  most  ? 
43  Simon  answered   and  said,  lie, 
I  suppose,  to    whom    he    forgave 
the  most.     And  he  said  unto  him, 
Thou  hast  rightly  judged.      «And 
turning  to    the    woman,    he    said 
unto  Simon,  Seest  thou  this  woman? 
I    entered    into    thy    house,    thou 
gavest  me  no   water  for  my  feet : 
but  she  hath   wetted  my  feet  with 
her  tears,   and    wiped    them  with 
her  hair.     «  Thou   gavest   me  no 
kiss:    but   she,  since   the  time    I 
came  in,  hath  not    ceased  to*kiss 
my  feet.    46  My  head  with  oil  thou 
didst    not    anoint:    but    she    hath 
anointed  my  feet   with  ointment. 
47  Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee,  Her 
sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven; 
for  she  loved  much  :  but  to  whom 
little  is  forgiven,  the   same  loveth 
little.     48And   he   said    unto  her, 
Thy    sins    are    forgiven.      49  And 
they  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  be- 
gan to  say  *  w  i  t  h  i  η  themselves, 
Who  is  this    that    even    forgiveth 
sins?      ^And    he    said  unto   the 
woman,  Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee  ■ 
go  in  peace.

What  are  ye  willing  to  give  me,

with  the  chief  priests  and  captains, 
how  he  might  *  deliver  him  unto

and  covenanted  to  give  him  money.

The  Preparation  for  the  Passover.

12  And  on  the  first  day  of

say  unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou 
that  we  go  and  make  ready  that 
thou    mayest    eat    the    passover  ? 

13  And  he  sendeth  two  of  his  dis- 
ciples, and  saith  unto  them,  Go 
into  the  city,  and  there  shall  meet 
you  a  man  bearing  a  pitcher  of 
water:  follow  him  ;  14  and  where- 
soever he  shall  enter  in,  say  to 
the  master  of  the  house, 

The  Teacher  saith, 
Where  is  my  guest  chamber,  where 

I  shall  eat  the  passover  with  my 
disciples  ? 

15  And  he  will  himself  show  you 
a  large  upper  room  furnished  and 
ready :  and  there  make  ready  for 
us.  16  And  the  disciples  went  forth, 
and  came  into  the  city,  and  found 
as  he  had  said  unto  them  :  and 
they  made  ready  the  passover. 
17  And  when  it  was  evening  he 
cometh  with  the  twelve.

18  And  as  they  "sat  and  were  eat- 
ing, Jesus  said,  \rerily  I  say  unto 
you,  One  of  you  shall  *  betray  me, 
even  he  that  eateth  with  me. 
19  They  began  to  be  sorrowful,  and 
to  say  unto  him  one  by  one,  Is  it 
I?     20  And  he  said  unto  them,  7/

17  Now   on  the    first  day  of  un- 
leavened bread  the   disciples  came 
to  Jesus,  saying, 

Where  wilt  thou 
that  we  make  ready  for  thee  to  eat 
the  passover  ? 


18  And  he  said,  Go 
into  the  city  to  such  a  man,  and 
say  unto  him, 


The  Teacher  saith, 
My  time    is   at    hand ; 

I  keep  the 
passover  at  thy  house  with  my 
disciples.

as  Jesus  appointed  them  ;  and  they 
made  ready  the  passover.

7  And  the  day  of  unleavened 
bread  came,  on  which  the  pass- 
over  must  be  sacrificed.  8And  he 
sent  Peter  and  John,  saying,  Go 
and  make  ready  for  us  the  pass- 
over,  that  we  may  eat.  9  And  they 
said  unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou 
that  we  make  ready  ?  10  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Behold,  when  ye 
are  entered  into  the  city,  there 
shall  meet  you  a  man  bearing  a 
pitcher  of  water  ;  follow  him  into 
the  house  whereinto  he  goeth.

of  the  house,  The  Teacher  saith

he  will  show  you  a  large  upper

had   said    unto    them :     and    they 
made  ready  the  passover.

he  sat  down,  and  the  apostles

it  was  that  should  do  this  thing.

my  body.

and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  to 
them,  saying,  Drink  ye  all  of  it ; 
28  for  this  is 
my  blood  of  the  "'covenant,  which 
is  poured  out  for  many  unto  remis- 
sion of  sins.  29But  I  say  unto  you, 
I  shall   not   drink  henceforth 

of  this  fruit  of  the  vine,  until  that 
day  when  I  drink  it  new  with  you 
in  my  Father's  kingdom.

passover  with  you  before  I  suffer  : 
16  for  I  say  unto  you,  I  shall  not 
eat  it,  until  it  be  fulfilled  in  the 
kingdom  of  God.  17And  he  re- 
ceived a  cup,  and  when  he  had 
given  thanks,  he  said,  Take  this, 
and  divide  it  among  yourselves  : 
19 And  he  took  "bread,  and  when 
he  had  given  thanks,  he  brake  it, 
and  gave  to  them,  saying,  This  is

after  supper,  saying,

even  that  which  is  poured  out 
for  you.  18For  I  say  unto  you,

herd, and  the  sheep  of  the  flock 
shall  be  scattered  abroad.  32  But 
after  I  am  raised  up,  I  will  go  before 
you  into  Galilee.

29  But  Peter  said  unto  him,  Al- 
though all  shall  be  offended, 
yet  will  not  I.  30And 

Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Verily  I 
say  unto  thee,  that  thou  to-day, 
even   this    night, 

before  the  cock  crow  twice,  shalt 
deny  me  thrice. 

31  But  he  spake 
exceeding  vehemently,  If  I  mast  die 
with  thee,  I  will  not  deny  thee. 
And  in  like  manner  also  said  they 
all. 


XIV:  32-42. 
32  And  they  come  unto  *  a  place 
which  was  named  Gethsemane : 
and  he  saith  unto  his  disciples, 
Sit  ye  here,  while  I 
pray.  ^  And  he  taketh  with  him 
Peter  and  James  and  John,  and  be- 
gan to  be  greatly  amazed,  and  sore 
troubled.  34And  he  saith  unto  them, 
My  soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful  even 
unto  death :  abide  ye  here,  and 
watch.  3S  And  he  went 

forward   a  little,   and   fell   on  the 
ground,  and  prayed  that, 

if  it  were  possible,  the    hour 
might  pass  away  from  him. 


33  But  Peter  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  If  all  shall  be  "offended 
in  thee,  I  will  never  be  offended. 
34  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Verily  I 
say   unto    thee,    that    this    night, 

before  the   cock   crow,   thou  shalt 
deny  me  thrice. 

35  Peter  saith 
unto  him,  Even  if  I  must  die 
with  thee,  yet  will  I  not  deny  thee. 
Likewise  also  said  all  the  disci- 
ples. 


Gethsemane.

36  Then  cometh  Jesus  with  them 
unto  *a  place  called  Gethsemane, 
and  saith  unto  his    disciples, 

Sit  ye  here,  while  I  go  yonder  and 
pray.  37  And  he  took  with  him 
Peter  and  the  two  sons  of  Zebedee, 
and  began  to  be  sorrowful  and  sore 
troubled.  ^Then  saith  he  unto  them, 
My  soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful, even 
unto  death  :  abide  ye  here,  and 
watch  with  me.  3iAnd  he  went 
forward  a  little,  and  fell  on  his 
face,  and  prayed,  saying,  My 
Father,  if  it  be  possible,  let  this 
cup  pass  away  from  me  :  neverthe-

31  Simon,  Simon,  behold,  Satan 
*  asked  to  have  you,  that  he  might 
sift  you  as  wheat :  S2but  I  made  sup- 
plication for  thee,  that  thy  faith 
fail  not ;  and  do  thou,  when  once 
thou  hast  turned  again,  establish 
thy  brethren. 

33  And  he  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
with  thee  I  am  ready  to  go  both 
to  prison  and  to  death.  34  And  he 
said,   I  tell   thee,   Peter, 

the  cock  shall 
not  crow  this  day,  until  thou  shalt 
thrice  deny  that  thou  knowest  me. 


Past  and  Future. 

XXII:  35-38. 

36  And  he  said  unto  them,  When 
I  sent  you  forth  without  purse, 
and  wallet,  and  shoes,  lacked  ye 
anything?  And  they  said,  Noth- 
ing. ^And  he  said  unto  them, 
But  now,  he  that  hath  a  purse, 
let  him  take  it,  and  likewise  a 
wallet ;  "and  he  that  hath  none, 
let  him  sell  his  cloak,  and  buy  a 
sword.  37  For  I  say  unto  you, 
that  this  which  is  written  must  be 
fulfilled  in  me.  *  And  he  was 
reckoned  with  transgressors :  for 
that  which  concerneth  me  hath 
"fulfilment.  ^  And  they  said,  Lord, 
behold,  here  are  two  swords. 
And  he  said  unto  them,  It  is 
enough.

39  And  he  came  out,  and  went, 
as  his  custom  was,  unto  the  mount 
of  Olives ;  and  the  disciples  also 
followed  him.  40And  when  he 
was  at  the  place,  he  said  unto 
them,  Pray  that  ye  enter  not  into 
temptation. 


41  And  he  was  parted  from 
them  about  a  stone's  cast ;  and  he 
kneeled  down  and  prayed,42  saying, 
Father,  if  thou  be  willing,  re- 
move this  cup  from  me  :  neverthe-

36  And  he  said,  Abba,  Father, 
all  things  are  possible  unto  thee  ; 
remove  this  cup  from  me  :  howbeit 
not  what  I  will,  but  what  thou  wilt. 


37  And  he  cometh 

and  findeth  them  sleeping, 
and  saith  unto  Peter, 
Simon,  sleepest  thou  ?  couldest 
thou  not  watch  one  hour? 
38  *  Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter 
not  into  temptation :  the  spirit 
indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is 
weak.       39And    again  he 

went    away,     and    prayed,  saying 
he  same  words. 

40  And  again  he  came, 
and  found  them  sleeping,  for  their 
eyes  were  very  heavy  ;  and  they 
knew    not    what    to    answer   him. 


41  And  he  cometh  the  third  time, 
and  saith  unto  them,  "Sleep  on 
now,  and  take  your  rest :  it  is 
enough ;  the  hour  is  come ;  be- 
hold, the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  sinners.  42  Arise, 
let  us  be  going  :  Behold,  he 
that   betrayeth  me  is   at  hand. 


XIV:  43-52. 

43  And  straightway, 
while  he  yet  spake,  cometh  Judas, 
one  of  the  twelve,  and  with  him 
a  multitude  with  swords  and  staves, 
from  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes 
and  the  elders.  44Now  he  that 
betrayed  him  had  given  them  a 
token,  saying,  Whomsoever  I  shall 
kiss,  that  is  he ;  take  him,  and 
lead  him  away  safely.  45And 
when  he  was  come,  straightway 
he  came  to  him,  and  saith, 
Rabbi ;  and  *  kissed  him.

hands  on  him,  and  took  him.

40  And  he  cometh  unto  the 
disci  pies, and  findeth  them  sleeping, 
and  saith  unto  Peter, 

What,  could 
ye  not  watch  with  me  one  hour? 
41  *  Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter 
not  into  temptation :  the  spirit 
indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is 
weak.  42  Again  a  second  time  he 
went  away,  and  prayed,  saying, 
My  Father,  if  this  cannot  pass 
away,  except  I  drink  it,  thy  will 
be  done.  43And  he  came  again 
and  found  them  sleeping,  for  their 
eyes  were  heavy.  44  And  he  left 
them  again,  and  went  away,  and 
prayed  a  third  time,  saying  again 
the  same  words. 

45  Then  cometh  he  to  the  disci- 
ples, and  saith  unto  them,  *  Sleep  on 
now,  and  take  your  rest :  behold, 
the  hour  is  at  hand,  and 

the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  sinners.  **  Arise,

«And 
while  he  yet  spake,  lo,  Judas, 
oneof  the  twelve, came, and withhim 
a  great  multitude  with  swords  and 
staves,  from  the  chief  priests  and 
elders  of  the  people.  48Now  he  that 
b  e  t  r  ay  e  d  him  gave  them  a 
sign,  saying,  Whomsoever  I  shall 
kiss,  that  is  he :  take  him. 

49  And  straightway 
he  came  to  Jesus,  and  said,  Hail, 
Rabbi  ;  and  *  kissed  him. 

60  And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Friend,  do  that  for  which  thou  art 
come.  Then  they  came  and  laid 
hands  on  Jesus,  and  took  him.

43 "And  there  appeared  unto  him 
an  angel  from  heaven,  strengthen- 
ing him.  44And  being  in  an  agony 
he  prayed  more  earnestly ;  and  his 
sweat  became  as  it  were  great  drops 
of  blood  falling  down  upon  the 
ground.  *>And  when  he  rose  up 
from  his  prayer,  he  came  unto  the 
disciples,  and  found  them  sleeping, 
for  sorrow,  46and  said  unto  them, 
Why  sleep  ye  ? 

rise  and  pray,  that  ye  enter 
not  into  temptation.

47  While  he  yet  spake,  behold, 

a  multitude,  and  he  that  was  called 
Judas,  one  of  the  twelve,  went  be- 
fore them  ; 


and  he  drew  near  unto  Jesus 
to  kiss  him. 

48  But  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Judas,  *  betrayest  thou  the  Son  of 
man  with  a  kiss  ?

48  And   Jesus  answered  and   said 
unto  them, 


Are  ye  come  out,  as 
against  a  robber,  with  swords  and

63  And  they  led  Jesus  away  to 
the  high  priest  :  and  there  come 
together  with  him  all  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders  and  the 
scribes.  M  And  Peter  had  followed 
him  afar  off,  even  within,  into 
the  court  of  the  high  priest ;  and 
he  was  sitting  with  the  officers, 
and  warming  himself  in  the  light 
of  the  fire.  55  Now  the  chief  priests 
and  the  whole  council  sought

filAnd  behold,  one  of  them 
that  were  with  Jesus,  stretched 
out  his  hand,  and  drew  his  sword, 
and  smote  the  *  servant  of  the  high 
priest,  and  struck  off  his  ear. 
62  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Put 
up  again  thy  sword  into  its  place : 
for  all  they  that  take  the  sword 
shall  perish  with  the  sword.  ^Or 
thinkest  thou  that  I  cannot  be-

even  now  send  me  more  than 
twelve  legions  of  angels?  s4Hcw 
then  should  the  scriptures  be  ful- 
filled, that  thus  it  must  be  ? 


55  In  that  hour  said  Jesus  to  the 
multitudes, 


Are  ye  come  out  as 

against  a  robber  with  swords  and 

staves    to  seize  me  ?     I    sat   daily 

in  the  temple  teaching,

56  But  all  this  is 
come  to  pass,  that  the  scriptures  of 
the  prophets  might  be  fulfilled. 
Then  all  the  disciples  left  him, 
and  fled. 


Before  the  Sanhedrim.

67  And  they  that  had  taken  Jesus 
led  him  away  to  the  house  of 
Caiaphas  the  high  priest,  where  the 
scribes  and  the  elders  were  gathered 
together.  68  But  Peter  followed 
him    afar    off,  unto 

the  court  of  the  high  priest,  and 
entered  in,  and  sat  with  the  officers, 
to  see  the  end. 

69  Now  the  chief  priests

51  But  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
Suffer  ye  them  thus  far.  And  he 
touched  his  ear,  and  healed  him. 
62  And  Jesus  said  unto  the  chief 
priests,  and  captains  of  the  tem- 
ple, and  elders,  that  were  come 
against    him, 

Are  ye  come  out,  as 
against  a  robber,  with  swords  and 
staves?  ^When  I  was  daily 
with  you  in  the  temple,  ye  stretched 
not  forth  your  hands  against  me :

54  And  they  seized  him,  and  led 
him  away,  and    brought  him  into 
the  high  priest's  house. 

But  Peter  followed 
afar  off.  KAnd  when  they  had 
kindled  a  fire  in  the  midst  of  the 
court,  and  had  sat  down  together,

certain,  and  bare  false  witness 
against  him,  saying,  *  We  heard 
him  say,  I  will  destroy  this  "temple 
that  is  made  with  hands,  and  in 
three  days  I  will  build  another 
made  without  hands.  59  And  not 
even  so  did  their  witness  agree 
together.  6°  And  the  high  priest 
stood  up  in  the  midst,  and  asked 
Jesus  saying,  Answerest  thou  noth- 
ing ?  what  is  it  which  these  wit- 
ness against  thee  ?  61  But  he  held 
his  peace,  and  answered  nothing. 
Again  the  high  priest  asked  him, 

and  saith  unto  him,  Art  thou  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Blessed  ? 


62  And  Jesus  said,  I  am : 

and  ye 
shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  at 
the  right  hand  of  Power,  and  com- 
ing with  the  clouds  of  heaven. 
63  And  the  high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  and  saith, 

What  further  need 
have  we  of  witnesses  ?  64  Ye 
have  heard  the  blasphemy  : 
what  think  ye  ?  And  they  all  con- 
demned him  to  be  "worthy  of  death. 
65  And  some  began  to  spit  on  him, 
and  to  cover  his  face,  and  to  buffet 
him,  and  to  say  unto  him, 
Prophesy :  and  the  officers  received 
him  with  *  blows  of  their  hands. 


XIV:  66-72. 

66  And  as  Peter  was  beneath  in 
the  court,  there  cometh  one  of  the 
maids  of  the  high  priest  ;  6r  and 
seeing  Peter  warming  himself, 
she  looked  upon  him  and  saith, 
Thou  also  wast  with  the  Nazarene, 
even  Jesus.  ^  But  he  denied, 
saying,  *  I  neither  know,  nor  un- 
derstand what  thou  sayest  :  and 
he    went    out    into    the    *  porch ; 


Matthew. 


But  afterward  came  two,  61  and 
said,  This  man  said,  I  am  able  to 
destroy  the  "temple  of  God,  and 

to  build  it  in  three  days. 


62  And  the  high  priest 
stood  up,  and  said  unto  him, 

Answerest  thou  noth- 
ing ?  what  is  it  which  these  wit- 
ness against  thee?  6GBut  Jesus 
held  his  peace.     And 

the  high  priest  said  unto  him, 
I  adjure  thee  by  the  living  God,  that 
thou  tell  us  whether  thou  art  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  God. 


Luke. 


137 


64  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Thou 
hast  said  :  nevertheless  I  say  unto 
you,  Henceforth  ye 

shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  at 
the  right  hand  of  Power,  and  com- 
ing on  the  clouds  of  heaven. 
•«Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
garments,  saying,  He  hath  spoken 
blasphemy  : 

what  further  need 
have  we  of  witnesses?  behold, 
now  ye  have  heard  the  blasphemy  : 

66  what  think  ye  ?  They  answered 
and  said,  He  is  *  worthy  of  death. 

67  Then  did  they  spit  in  his  face 
and  buffet  him :  and  some  smote  him 
*  with  the  palms  of   their  hands, 

68  saying,  Prophesy  unto  us,  thou 
Christ  :  who  is  he  that  struck  thee  ? 


Peter's  Denial. 

XXVI:  69-75. 

68  Now  Peter  was  sitting  without 
in  the  court :  and  a  maid  came  un- 
to him,  saying, 


Thou  also  wast  with 
Jesus  the  Galilrean.  70  But  he  denied 
before   them   all,    saying, 
I  know  not  what  thou  sayest.  71  And 
when  he  was  gone  out  into  the  porch, 


66  And  as  soon  as  it  was 
day,  the  assembly  of  the  elders  of 
the  people  was  gathered  together, 
both  chief  priests  and  scribes; 
and  they  led  him  away  into  their 
council,  saying,  67  If  thou  art  the 
Christ,  tell  us.  But  he  said  unto 
them,  If  I  tell  you,  ye  will  not 
believe  :  ^and  if  I  ask  you,  ye 
will  not  answer.  69  But  from  hence- 
forth shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
seated  at  the  right  hand  of  the 
power  of  God.  70  And  they  all 
said,  Art  thou  then  the  Son  of 
God  ?  And  he  said,  unto  them, 
<:Ye  say  that  I  am.  71And  they  said, 
What  further  need 
have  we  of  witness?  for  we  our- 
selves have  heard  from  his  own 
mouth. 

63  And  the  men  that  held 
"Jesus  mocked  him,  and  beat  him. 
64  And  they  blindfolded  him,  and 
asked  him,  saying,  Prophesy  :  who 
is  he  that  struck  thee  ?  ^  And 
many  other  things  spake  they 
against  him,  reviling  him. 


XXII  :  56-62 
56  And    a    certain   maid    seeing 
him  as  he  sat  in    the   light  of  the 
fire,  and  looking  steadfastly  upon 
him,  said, 

This  man  also  was  with 
him.     δ7  But  he  denied, 

saying, 
Woman  I  know  him  not.  ω  And 
after  a    little    while    another  saw

:and  the  cock  crew.  69And  the  maid 
saw  him,  and  began  again  to  say 
to  them  that  stood  by,  This  is  one 
of   them.  70But    he    again 

denied  it. 

And    after   a  little 
while  again  they  that  stood  by 
said   to   Peter,    Of   a   truth    thou 
art  one  of   them ;  for  thou    art    a 
Galiliean.  71But    he 

began  to  curse  and  to  swear, 
I  know  not  this  man  of  whom  ye 
speak.  n  And     straightway 

the  second  time  the  cock  crew. 

And  Peter 
called  to  mind  the  word,  how  that 
Tesus  said  unto  him,  Before  the 
cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice.  *  And  when  he  thought 
thereon,  he  wept.

another  maid 
saw  him,  and  saith  unto  them  that 
were  there,  This  man  also  was  with 
Jesus  of  Nazareth.  72  And  again  he 
denied  with  an  oath,  I  know  not 
the  man.  73And  after  a  little 
while  they  that  stood  by  came 
and  said  to  Peter,  Of  a  truth  thou 
also  art  one  of  them ;  for  thy 
speech  maketh  thee  known.  74Then 
began  he  to  curse  and  to  swear, 
I  know  not  the  man. 

And  t;traightway- 
the  cock  crew. 

75  And  Peter 
remembered  the  word  which 
Tesus    had    said,  Before    the 

cock    crow,  thou    shalt    deny 

me  thrice.     And  he  went  out  and 
wept  bitterly.

Thou  also  art  one 
of  them.  But  Peter  said,  Man,  I 
am  not. 

i9  And  after  the  space  of 
about  one  hour,  another  confidently 
affirmed,  saying,  Of  a  truth  this 
man  also  was  with  him  ;  for  he 
is  a  Galilsean.     6°  But  Peter  said, 

Man,  I  know  not  what  thou  sayest. 
And  immediately  while  he  yet 
spake  the  cock  crew.  61  And  the 
Lord  turned,  and  looked  upon 
Peter.  And  Peter  remembered 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  how  that 
he  said  unto  him,  Before  the 
cock  crow  this  day  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice.  62And  he  went  out, 
and  wept  bitterly. 


Delivery  of  the  Prisoner  to  Pilate. 


XV  :  1. 

1  And  straightway  in  the  morn- 
ing the  chief  priests  with  the 
elders  and  scribes,  and  the  whole 
council,  held  a  consultation,  and 
bound  Jesus,  and  carried  him 
away,  and  delivered  him  up  to 
Pilate. 


XXVII  :  1,  2. 
1  Now  when  morning  was  come, 
all  the  chief  priests  and  the  elders 
of  the  people  took  counsel  against 
Jesus  to  put  him  to  death  :  2  and 
they  bound  him,  and  led  him 
away,  and  delivered  him  up  to 
Pilate  the  governor. 

Tlie  Fate  of  Judas. 

XXVII  :  3-10. 

"  Then  Judas,  who  *  betrayed 
him,  when  he  saw  that  he  was 
condemned,  repented  himself,  and 
brought  back  the  thirty  pieces  of 
silver  to  the  chief  priests  and 
elders,  4  saying,  I  have  sinned  in 
that  I  betrayed  '"'innocent  blood. 
But  they  said,  What  is  that  to  us? 
see  thou  to  it.  δ  And  he  cast  down 
the  pieces  of  silver  into  the  sanc- 
tuary, and  departed  ;  and  he  went 
away  and  hanged  himself.  6  And 
the  chief  priests  took  the  pieces  of 
silver,  and  said,  It  is  not  lawful  to 
put  them  into  the  *  treasury,  since 
it  is  the  price  of  blood.  7  And 
they  took  counsel,  and  bought 
with  them  the  potter's  field,  to  bury 
strangers  in.  8Wh  ere  fore  that 
field  was  called,  The  field  of  blood, 
unto  this  day.  9  Then  was  fulfill- 
ed that  which  was  spoken  through 
Jeremiah  the  prophet,  saying, 
*  And  *  they  took  the  thirty  pieces 
of    silver,    the   price   of  him  that

before  Pilate.

2  And  Pilate  asked  him,  Art  thou

answering  saith  unto  him,  Thou 
sayest. 

3  And    the    chief    priests 
accused  him  of  many  things. 

4  And  Pilate  again  asked  him, 
saying,  Answerest  thou  nothing? 
behold  how    many  things 

they  accuse  thee  of.     s  But   Jesus 
no  more  answered   anything; 
insomuch  that 
Pilate  marvelled.

children  of  Israel  did  price;  10and 
*  they  gave  them  for  the  potter's

Christ  Before  Pilate. 

XXVII  :  11-14. 


11  Now  Jesus  stood  before  the 
governor :  and  the  governor 
asked  him,  saying,  Art  thou 
the  King  of  the  Jews?  And  Jesus 
said    unto    him,  Thou 

sayest.       12  And     when    he    w a  s 
accused   by  the   chief  priests   and 
elders,  he  answered  nothing. 
13  Then   saith     Pilate     unto   him, 
Hearest  thou  not 

how  many  things 
they  witness  against  thee  ?  14  And 
he  gave  him  no  answer,  not  even 
to  one  word  :  insomuch  that  the 
governor  marvelled  greatly. 


Luke.

XXIII  :  2-5. 

2  And  they  began  to  accuse  him, 
saying,  We  found  this  man  per- 
verting our  nation,  and  forbidding 
to  give  tribute  to  Caesar,  and 
saying  that  he  himself  is  Christ 
a   king.  s  And    Pilate 

asked  him,  saying,  Art  thou 
the  King  of  the  Jews?  And  he 
answered  him  and  said,  Thou 
sayest. 


4  And  Pi- 
late said  unto  the  chief  priests  and 
the  multitudes,  I  find  no  fault  in 
this  man.  5  But  they  were  the 
more  urgent,  saying.  He  stirreth 
up  the  people,  teaching  through- 
out all  Judaea,  and  beginning  from 
Gallilee  even  unto  this  place. 

Pilate  and  Herod. 

XXIII:    6-16. 

6  But  when  Pilate  heard  it,  he 
asked  whether  the  man  were  a 
Galilamn.  7  And  when  he  knew 
that  he  was  of  Herod's  jurisdic- 
tion, he  sent  him  unto  Herod,  who 
himself  also  was  at  Jerusalem  in 
these  days.  8  Now  when  Herod  saw 
Jesus,  he  was  exceeding  glad  :  for 
he  was  of  a  long  time  desirous  to 
see  him,  because  he  had  heard  con- 
cerning him  ;  and  he  hoped  to  see 
some  *  miracle  done  by  him. 
9  And  he  questioned  him  in  many 
words  ;  but  he  answered  him 
nothing.  10  And  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  stood,  vehemently 
accusing  him.  nAnd  Herod  with 
his  soldiers  set  him  at  nought,  and 
mocked  him,  and  arraying  him  in 
gorgeous  apparel  sent  him  back  to 
Pilate.      u  And  Herod  and  Pilate 


140 


Mark. 


Matthew. 


Luke. 

became  friends  with  each  other 
that  very  day  :  for  before  they  were 
at  enmity  between  themselves. 

13  And  Pilate  called  together  the 
chief  priests  and  the  rulers  and  the 
people,  u  and  said  unto  them,  Ye 
brought  unto  me  this  man,  as  one 
that  perverteth  the  people  :  and 
behold,  I,  having  examined  him 
before  you,  found  no  fault  in  this 
man  touching  those  things  where- 
of ye  accuse  him  :  15  no,  nor  yet 
Herod  :  for  *he  sent  him  back 
unto  us ;  and  behold  nothing 
worthy  of  death  hath  been  done 
by  him.  1β  I  will  therefore  chas- 
tise him  and  release  him.* 


XV  :  6-15. 

6  Now  at  *  the  feast  he  used 
to  release  unto 
them  one  prisoner,  whom  they 
asked  of  him.  7  And  there  was 
one  called  Barabbas, 
lying  bound  with  them  that  had 
made  insurrection,  men  who  in 
the  insurrection  had  committed 
murder.  KAnd  the  multitude 
went  up  and  began  to  ask  him  to 
do  as  he  was  wont  to  do  unto 
them.  9And  Pilate  answered 
them  saying,  Will  ye  that  I  re- 
lease unto  you  the  King  of  the 
Jews? 

10  For  he  perceived  that  for 
envy  the  chief  priests  had  delivered 
him  up. 


11  But  the  chief  priests 
stirred  up  the  multitude,  that 
he  should  rather  release  Barabbas 
unto  them. 

12  And  Pilate  again  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  What  then  shall  I  do 
unto  him  whom  ye  call  the  King  of 
the  Jews?  13And  they  cried  out 
again,  Crucify  him. 

14  And  Pilate  said   unto  them, 


Jesus  and  Barabbas. 

XXVII  :  15-26. 
15  Now  at  "the  feast  the  governor 
was  wont  to  release  unto  the 
multitude  one  prisoner,  whom  they 
would.  1,5And  they  had  then  a 
notable  prisoner,  called  Barabbas. 


17  When  therefore  they  were 
gathered  together,  Pilate  said  unto 
them,  Whom  will  ye  that  I  re- 
lease unto  you  ?  Barabbas,  or 
Jesus  who  is  called  Christ? 

lsFor  he  knew  that  for 
envy  they  had  delivered 
him  up. 

19  And  while  he  was  sitting  on  the 
judgment-seat,  his  wife  sent  unto 
him,  saying,  Have  thou  nothing  to 
do  with  that  righteous  man  ;  for  I 
have  suffered  many  things  this  day 
in  a  dream  because  of  him. 

20  Now  the  chief  priests  and 
the  elders  persuaded  the  multitudes 
that  they  should  ask  for  Barabbas, 
and  destroy  Jesus. 

-1  But  the  governor  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Which  of  the  two 
will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you  ? 
And  they  said,  Barabbas. 

22  Pilate  saith  unto  them, 
What  then  shall  I  do  unto  Jesus  who 
is  called  Christ  ?  They  all  say,  Let 
him  be  crucified.     ^And  he  said, 


XXIII:  (17)    :  18-25. 


Why,   what  evil    hath    he    done  ? '  Whv,    what  evil   hath    he    done? 


18T:Sut  they  cried  out  all  together, 
saying,  Away  with  this  man,  and 
release  unto  us  Barabbas  :  —  ly  one 
who  for  a  certain  insurrection  made 
in  the  city,  and  for  murder,  was 
cast  into  prison. 


20  And  Pilate  spake  unto  them 
again,  desiring  to  release  Jesus  ; 
21  but  they  shouted,  saying, 
Crucify,  crucify  him.  22  And  he  said 
unto  them  a  third  time, 
Whv,  what  evil  hath  this  man  done? 


Mark. 


But    they  cried    out   exceedingly, 
Crucify  him. 


15  And  Pilate,  wishing 
to  content  the  multitude,  released 
unto  them  Barabbas,  and  delivered 
Jesus,  when  he  had  scourged  him, 
to  be  crucified. 


Matthew. 


But   they   cried   out   exceedingly, 
saying,  Let  him  be  crucified. 


24  So  when  Pilate  saw  that  he 
prevailed  nothing,  but  rather  that 
a  tumult  was  arising,  he  took 
water,  and  washed  his  hands  be- 
fore the  multitude,  saying,  I  am 
innocent  *of  the  blood  of  this 
righteous  man ;  see  ye  to  it. 
26  And  all  the  people  answered 
and  said,  His  blood  be  on  us,  and 
on  our  children.  26Then  released 
he  unto  them  Barabbas ;  but 
Jesus  he  scourged  and  delivered 
to  be  crucified.

Mocking  "the  King  of  the  Jews." 


XV:  16-20. 
16 And    the    soldiers    led    him 
away  within   the    court,  which    is 
the  *  Prsetorium  ;  and  they  call  to- 
gether the  whole  *  band.     17  And 

they  clothe  him  with  purple,  and 
platting  a  crown  of  thorns,  they 
put  it  on  him  ; 

18  and  they 

began  to  salute  him,  Hail,  King  of 
the  Jews!  19And  they  smote 
his  head  with  a  reed,  and  spat 
upon  him,  and  bowing  their 
knees  :?  worshipped  him.  20  And 
when  they  had  mocked  him,  they 
took  off  from  him  the  purple,  and 
put  on  him  his  garments.  And 
they  lead  him  out  to  crucify  him. 


XXVII:  27-31. 

27  Then  the  soldiers  of  the  gov- 
ernor took  Jesus  into 
the  *Prcetorium,  and  gathered  unto 
him  the  whole  :::  band.  28  And 
they  *  stripped  him,  and  put  on 
him  a  scarlet  robe.  29  And  they 
platted  a  crown  of  thorns  and 
put  it  upon  his  head,  and  a  reed 
in  his  right  hand  ;  and  they 
kneeled  down  before  him,  and 
mocked  him,  saying,  Hail,  King  of 
the  Jews !  so  And  they  spat  upon 
him,  and  took  the  reed  and  smote 
him  on    the   head. 

31  And 
when  they  had  mocked  him,  they 
took  off  from  him  the  robe,  and 
put  on  him  his  garments,  and 
led  him  away  to  crucify  him. 


I  have  found  no  cause  of  death  in 
him  :  I  will  therefore  chastise  him 
and  release  him.  -rj  But  they  were 
urgent  with  loud  voices,  asking 
that  he  might  be  crucified.  And 
their  voices  prevailed. 


24  And  Pilate  gave  sentence  that 
what  they  asked  for  should  be 
done.  2s  And  he  released  him 
that  for  insurrection  and  murder  had 
been  cast  into  prison,  whom  they 
asked  for;  but  Jesus  he  delivered 
up  to  their  will. 


XV:  21, 

21  And  they  *  compel  one  pass- 
ing by,  Simon  of  Cyrene,  coming 
from  the  country,  the  father  of 
Alexander  and  Rufus,  to  go  with 
them,  that  he  might  bear  his  cross. 


Going  to  the  Execution. 

XXVII  :  32. 

32  And  as  they  came  out,  they 
found  a  man  of  Cyrene,  Simon  by 
name : 

him  they  "compelled  to  go  with 
than,  that  he  might  bear  his  cross. 


XXIII:  26-32. 

26  And  when  they  led  him  away, 
they  laid  hold  upon  one  Simon  of 
Cyrene,  coming  from  the  country, 
and  laid  on  him  the 
cross,  to  bear  it  after  Jesus. 

-"And  there  followed  him  a 
great  multitude  of  the  people, 
and  of  women  who  bewailed  and 
lamented  him.  ^  But  Jesus  turn- 
ing unto  them  said,  Daughters  of 
Jerusalem,  weep  not  for  me,  but 
weep  for  yourselves,  and  for  your 
children.     20For  behold,  the  days

22  And  they  bring  him  unto  the 
place  Golgotha,  which  is,  being 
interpreted,  the  place  of  a  skull. 
23  And  they  offered  him  wine 
•jingled  with  myrrh  :  but  he  re- 
ceived it  not. 


24  And  they  crucify  him,  and 
part  his  garments  among  them, 
casting  lots  upon  them,  what  each 
should  take.  25And  it  was  the 
third  hour,  and  they  crucified  him. 

26  And  the  superscription  of 
his  accusation  was  written  over, 
the  King  of  the  Jews. 

^And  with  him  they  crucify 
two  robbers;  one  on  his  right 
hand,  and  one  on  his  left.*  29  And 
they  that  passed  by  railed  on  him, 
wagging  their  heads,  and  saying, 
Ha  !  thou  that  destroyest  the  "  tem- 
ple, and  buildest  it  in  three  days, 

30  save  thyself,    and 

come  down  from  the  cross. 

31  In  like  manner  also  the  chief 
priests  mocking  him  among  them- 
selves with  the  scribes  said,  He 
saved  others  ;  "himself  he  cannot 
save.  32  Let  the  Christ,  the  King 
of  Israel,  now  come  down  from 
the  cross,  that  we  may  see  and 
believe. 


The  Execution. 

XXVII:  33-44. 

33  And  when  they  were  come 
unto  a  place  called  Golgotha,  that 
is  to  say,  The  place  of  a  skull, 
34  they  gave  him  wine  to  drink 
mingled  with  gall :  and  when  he 
had  tasted  it,  he  would  not  drink. 


35And  when  they  had  crucified  him, 
they  parted  his  garments  among 
them,  casting  lots  ;  3B  and  they  sat 
and  watched  him  there. 

37  And  they  set  up  over  his  head 
his  accusation  written,  This  is 
Jesus  the  King  of  the  Jews. 

38  Then  are  there  crucified  with 
him  two  robbers,  one  on  the  right 
hand  and  one  on  the  left.  S9And 
they  that  passed  by  railed  on  him, 
wagging  their  heads,  40  and  saying, 
Thou  that  destroyest  the  "tem- 
ple, and  buildest  it  in  three  days, 
save  thyself:  if  thou  art  the  Son  of 
God,  come  down  from  the  cross. 
41  In  like  manner  also,  the  chief 
priests  mocking  him,  with  the 
scribes  and  elders,  said,  ^He 
saved  others  ;  "himself  he  cannot 
save.  He  is  the  King  of  Israel ; 
let  him  now  come  down  from 
the  cross,  and  we  will  believe  on 
him.  43  He  trusteth  on  God  ;  let 
him  deliver  him  now,  if  he  desireth 
him :  for  he  said,  I  am  the  Son 
of  God.

others,  malefactors,  led  with  him 
to  be  put  to  death.

i3  And  when  they  came  unto  the 
place  which  is  called  "The  skull, 
there  they  crucified  him, 


and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right  hand 
and  the  other  on  the  left.  34  "And 
Jesus  said,  Father,  forgive  them  ; 
for  they  know  not  what  they  do. 
And  parting  his  garments  among 
them,  they  cast  lots.  ^And  the 
people  stood  beholding. 


And  the  rulers 
also  scoffed  at  him, 

saying,  He 
saved  others  ;  let  him  save  him- 
self, if  this  is  the  Christ  of  God,

36  And  the  soldiers 
also  mocked  him,  coming  to  him, 
offering  him  vinegar,  37and  say- 
ing, If  thou  art  the  King  of  the

him,  saying,  Art  not  thou  the 
Christ  ?  save  thyself  and  us. 
40  But  the  other  answered,  and 
rebuking  him,  said,  Dost  thou  not 
even  fear  God,  seeing  thou  art  in 
the  same  condemnation?  41  And 
we  indeed  justly  ;  for  we  receive 
the  due  reward  of  our  deeds : 
but  this  man  hath  done  nothing 
amiss.  42  And  he  said,  Jesus, 
remember  me  when  thou  comest 
"in  thy  kingdom.  43And  he  said 
unto  him,  Verily  I  say  unto  thee, 
To-day  shalt  thou  be  with  me  in

cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Eloi, 
Eloi,  lama  sabachthini  ?  which 
is,  being  interpreted,  *  My  God, 
my  God,  "why  bast  thou  forsaken 
me  ?  s5  And  some  of  them  that 
stood  by,  when  they  heard  it, 
said,  Behold,  he  calleth  Elijah. 
36  And  one  ran, 

and  filling  a  sponge 
full  of  vinegar,    put  it  on  a  reed, 
and  gave    him    to    drink, 
saying, 

Let  be  ;  let  us  see  whether  Elijah 
cometh  to  take  him  down. 


37  And  Jesus  uttered  a 
loud    voice, 

and  gave  up  the  ghost. 
38  And  the  veil  ot  the  *  temple 
was  rent  in  two  from  the  top  to 
the  bottom.

46  And  about  the  ninth  hour  Jesus 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 
*  Eli,  Eli,  lama  sabachthani  ?  that 
is,  My  God, 

my  God,  *  why  hast  thou  forsaken 
me  ?  47  And  some  of  them  that 
stood  there,  when  they  heard  it, 
said,  This  man  calleth  Elijah.

and  took  a  sponge,  and  filled  it 
with  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a  reed, 
and  gave  him  to  drink.  49  And  the 
rest  said, 

Let  be  ;  let  us  see  whether  Elijah 
cometh  to  save  him.* 


60  And  Jesus  cried  again  with  a 
loud    voice, 

and  yielded  up  his  spirit. 
61And  behold,  the  veil  of  the  *  tem- 
ple was  rent  in  two  from  the  top 
to  the  bottom  ;  and  the  earth  did 
quake  ;  and  the  rocks  were  rent ;

and  many  bodies  of  the  saints 
that  had  fallen  asleep  were  raised  ;

44  And  it  was  now  about  the  sixth

46 *  the  sun's  light  failing  :  and  the

the  centurion,  who  stood  by  over 
against  him,  saw  that  he  so  gave 
up  the  ghost, 

he  said,  Truly  this 
man  was  *  the  Sou  of  God. 


40  And 
there  were  also  women  beholding 
from  afar: 

among  whom  were  both  Mary

4Ϊ  And  when  even  was  now  come, 
because  it  was  the  Preparation, 
that  is,  the  day  before  the  sabbath, 
43  there  came  Joseph  of  Arima- 
thsea,  a  councillor  of  honorable 
estate,  who  also  himself  was  look- 
ing for  the  kingdom  of  God  ; 
and  he  boldly  went  in  unto  Pilate, 
and  asked  for  the  body  of  Jesus. 
44And  Pilate  marvelled  if  he  were 
already  dead :  and  calling  unto 
him  the  centurion,  he  asked  him 
whether  he  *  had  been  any  while 
dead.  45  And  when  he  learned  it 
of  the  centurion,  he  granted  the 
corpse  to  Joseph.  46  And  he 
bought  a  linen  cloth,  and  taking 
him  down,  wound  him  in  the 
linen  cloth,  and  laid  him  in  a 
tomb  which  had  been  hewn  out  of  a 
rock  ;  and  he  rolled  a  stone  against 
the  door  of  the  tomb. 

47  And  Mary  Mag- 
dalene and  Mary  the  mother  of 
Joses  beheld  where  he  was  laid.

53  and  coming  forth  out  of  the 
tombs  after  his  resurrection 
they  entered  into  the  holy  city 
and  appeared  unto  many.  64Now 
the  centurion,  and  they  that  were 
with  him  watching  Jesus,  when 
they  saw  the  earthquake,  and  the 
things  that  were  done,  feared 
exceedingly,  saying,  Truly  this 
was   :;:the    Son  of  God. 


5*And 
many  women  were  there  beholding 
from  afar,  who  had  followed  Jesus 
from  Galilee,  ministering  unto 
him :  m  among  whom  was  Mary 
Magdalene,  and  Mary  the  mother 
of  James  and  Joses,  and  the  mother 
of  the  sons  of  Zebedee.

i7And  when  even  was  come, 
there  came  a  rich  man  from  Ari- 
mathsea,  named  Joseph,  who  also 
himself  was  Jesus'  disciple  : 

58  this  man  went  to  Pilate,  and 
asked   for  the  body  of  Jesus. 


Then  Pilate  commanded  it  to  be 
given  up.  59  And  Joseph  took  the 
body, 

and  wrapped  it  in  a  clean 
linen  cloth,  60  and  laid  it  in  his  own 
new  tomb,  which  he  had  hewn  out 
in  the  rock  :  and  he  rolled  a  great 
stone  to  the  door  of  the  tomb, 
and  departed. 

61  And  Mary  Mag- 
dalene was  there,  and  the  other 
Mary,  sitting  over  against  the 
sepulchre.

47  And  when 
the  centurion  saw  what  was 
done,  he  glorified  God, 


saying,  Certainly  this 
was  a  righteous  man.  48  And  all 
the  multitudes  that  came  together 
to  this  sight,  when  they  beheld 
the  things  that  were  done,  re- 
turned smiting  their  breasts. 
49  And  all  his  acquaintance,  and 
the  women  that  followed  with  him 
from  Galilee,  stood  afar  off,  seeing 
these  things. 


XXIII:  50-56. 
1,0  And  behold,  a  man  named 
Joseph,  who  was  a  councillor,  a 
good  and  righteous  man  61  (he 
had  not  consented  to  their  counsel 
and  deed),  a  man  of  Arimathaea, 
a  city  of  the  Jews,  who  was  look- 
ing for  the  kingdom  of  God  : 
Λ2  this  man  went  to  Pilate,  and 
asked  for  the  body  of  Jesus. 


And  he  took  it  down, 


and  wrapped  it  in  a 
linen  cloth,  and  laid  him  in  a 
tomb  that  was  hewn  in  stone, 
where  never  man  had  yet  lain. 
54  And  it  was  the  day  of  the  Prepa- 
ration, and  the  sabbath  "drew  on. 
MAnd  the  women,  who  had  come 
with  him  out  of  Galilee,  followed 
after  and  beheld  the  tomb,  and 
how  his  body  was  laid.  s6  And  they 
returned  and  prepared  spices  and 
ointments.  And  on  the  sabbath 
day  they  rested  according  to  the 
commandment.

1  And  when  the  sabbath  was 
past,  Mary  Magdalene,  and  Mary 
the  mother  of  James,  and  Salome, 
bought  spices,  that  they  might 
come  and  anoint  him.  2  And  very 
early  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
they  come  to  the  tomb  when  the 
sun  was  risen. 


3  And  they  were 
saying  among  themselves,  Who 
shall  roll  us  away  the  stone  from 
the  door  of  the  tomb  ?  4  and  look- 
ing up,  they  see  that  the  stone  is 
rolled  back :  for  it  was  exceeding 
great.  fi  And  entering  into  the 
tomb,  they  saw  a  young  man  sit- 
ting on  the  right  side,  arrayed  in 
a  white  robe ;  and  they  were 
amazed.

XXVII  :  62-66. 

63  Now  on  the  morrow,  which 
is  the  day  after  the  Preparation, 
the  chief  priests  and  the  Phari- 
sees were  gathered  together  unto 
Pilate,  ω  saying,  Sir,  we  remem- 
ber that  that  deceiver  said  while 
he  was  yet  alive,  After  three  days 
I  rise  again.  M  Command  there- 
fore that  the  sepulchre  be  made 
sure  until  the  third  day,  lest  haply 
his  disciples  come  and  steal  him 
away,  and  say  unto  the  people, 
He  is  risen  from  the  dead  :  and 
the  last  error  will  be  worse  than 
the  first.  ^  Pilate  said  unto  them, 
*  Ye  have  a  guard  :  go,  *  make  it 
as  sure  as  ye  can.  ^  So  they 
went,  and  made  the  sepulchre 
sure,  sealing  the  stone,  the  guard 
being  with  them.

The  Empty  Tomb. 
XXVIII  :  1-10. 

1  Now  late  on   the  sabbath  day, 


as  it  began  to  dawn  toward 
the  first  day  of  the  week, 
came  Mary  Magdalene  and  the  other 
Mary  to  see  the  sepulchre.  2  And  be- 
hold, there  was  a  great  earthquake ; 
for  an  angel  of  the  Lord  descended 
from  heaven,  and  came  and  rolled 
away  the  stone,    and  sat  upon  it. 

3  His  appearance  was  as  lightning, 
and  his   raiment    white    as  snow : 

4  and  for  fear  of  him  the  watchers 
did  quake,  and  became  as  dead 
men.

1  But  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
at  early  dawn,  they  came  unto 
the  tomb,  bringing  the  spices 
which  they  had  prepared. 


2  And 

they  found  the  stone  rolled  away 
from  the  tomb. 


3  And  they  entered  in, 


and  found  not  the  body  *  of  the 
Lord  Jesus.  4  And  it  came  to  pass, 
while  they  were  perplexed  there- 
about, behold,  two  men  stood  by

6  And  he    saith    unto 
them,    Be  not   amazed  : 

ye  seek 
Tesus,  the  Nazarene,  who  hath 
been  crucified  :  he  is  risen  ;  he  is 
not  here :  beiold, 

the  place  where 
they  laid  him  !

&o*  VP     disciples  and  Peter, 

He  goeth  be 
fore  you  into  Galilee  :  there  shall 
ye  see  him,  as  he  said  unto  you. 


8  And  they  went  out,  and  fled 
from  the  tomb  :  for  trembling  and 
astonishment  had  come  upon 
them :  and  they  said  nothing  to 
any  one  ;  for  they  were  afraid. 


Matthew. 


fiAnd  the  angel  answered 
and  said  unto  the  women,  Fear  not 
ye ;  for  I  know  that  ye  seek 
Jesus,  who  hath 

been    crucified.  6  He  is 

not  here  ;  for  he  is  risen,  even  as  he 
said.  Come,  see  the  place  *  where 
the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his 
disciples,  He  is  risen  from  the 
dead  ;  and  lo, 

he  goeth  be- 
fore you  into  Galilee ;  there  shall 
ye  see  him :  lo,  I  have  told  you. 


8  And  they  departed  quickly 
from  the  tomb  with  fear  and  great 
joy,  and  ran  to  bring  his  disciples 
word.  9  And  behold,  Jesus  met 
them,  saying,  All  hail.  And  they 
came  and  took  hold  of  his  feet,  and 
*  worshipped  him.  10  Then  saith 
Jesus  unto  them,  Fear  not :  go  tell 
my  brethren  that  they  depart  into 
Galilee,  and  there  shall  they  see 
me. 


The  Fraud    of   the  Priests 
and  Elders. 

XXVIII  :  11-15. 

11  Now,  while  they  were  going, 
behold,  some  of  the  guard  came 
into  the  city,  and  told  unto  the 
chief  priests  all  the  things  that 
were  come  to  pass.  12  And  when 
they  were  assembled  with  the 
elders,    and   had   taken    counsel,

them  in  dazzling  apparel  :  5  and  as 
they  were  affrighted  and  bowed 
down  their  faces  to  the  earth,  they 
said  unto  them,  Why  seek  ye  *the 
living  among  the  dead  ? 

6  *  He  is 
not  here,  but  is  risen  : 


remember 
how  he  spake  unto  you  when  he 
was  yet  in  Galilee,  7  saying  that 
the  Son  of  man  must  be  delivered 
up  into  the  hands  of  sinful  men, 
and  be  crucified,  and  the  third  day 
rise  again. 


8  And  they  remembered 
his  words,  9  and  returned  *  from 
the  tomb,  and  told  all  these  things 
to  the  eleven,  and  to  all  the  rest. 
10  Now  they  were  Mary  Magda- 
lene, and  Joanna,  and  Mary  the 
mother  of  James  :  and  the  other 
women  with  them  told  these  things 
unto  the  apostles.  u  And  these 
words  appeared  in  their  sight  as 
idle  talk ;  and  they  disbelieved 
them. 

(Some  ancient  authorities  omit 
ver.  i2.) 

12  *But  Peter  arose,  and  ran  unto 
the  tomb  ;  and  stooping  and  look- 
ing in,  he  seeth  the  linen  cloths  by 
themselves  ;  and  he  *  departed  to 
his  home,  wondering  at  that  which 
was  come  to  pass.

they  gave  much  money  unto  the 
soldiers,  1S  saying,  Say  ye,  His

him  away  while  we  slept.  14  And 
if  this  *come  to  the  governor's 
ears,  we  will  persude  him,  and 
rid  you  of  care.  15  So  they  took 
the  money,  and  did  as  they  were 
taught  :  and  this  saying  was 
spread  abroad  among  the  Jews, 
and  continueth  until  this  day.

The  Walk  to  Emmaus. 

XXIV:  13-35. 

13  And  behold,    two     of    them 
were  going  that  very  day  to  a  vil- 
lage named    Emmaus,    which  was 
threescore    furlongs  from    Jerusa- 
lem.       "And     they     communed 
with  each  other  of  all  these  things 
which  had    happened.     J5And  it 
came  to  pass,  while  they  commun- 
ed and   questioned    together,  that 
Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and  went 
with    them.       w  But     their    eyes 
were  holden  that  they  should  not 
know    him.     "And  he  said  unto 
them,  *What  communications  are 
these  that  ye  have  one  with  anoth- 
er, as  ye  walk  ?       And  they  stood 
still,  looking    sad.     i»  And  one  ot 
them,  named    Cleopas,  answering 
said  unto  him,    *  Dost  thou  alone 
sojourn  in  Jerusalem  and  not  know 
the  things  which  are  come  to  pass 
there  in  these   days  ?     J9  And  he 
said    unto    them,    What    things? 
And    they    said    unto    him,    The 
things  concerning  Jesus  the  Naza- 
rene,  who  was    a  prophet  mighty 
in  deed  and  word  before  God  and 
all    the    people  :    20  and   how  the 
chief  priests   and  our  rulers  deliv- 
ered him  up  to   be  condemned  to 
death,  and    crucified   him.     21  But 
we    hoped    that    it    was    he  who 
should   redeem    Israel.     Yea  and 
besides  all  this,  it  is  now  the  third 
day    since    these    things   came  to 
pass.     22  Moreover  certain  women 
of  our  company  amazed  us,    hav- 
ing been  early  at  the  tomb  ;  ω  and 
when  they    found    not    his    body, 
they  came,    saying,  that  they  had 
also  seen  a  vision  of  angels,  who 
said   that   he    was    alive.     24And 
certain  of  them  that  were  with  as 
went    to   the   tomb,    and  found  it 
even  so  as  the  women  had  said  :

but  him  they  saw  not.  M  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Ο  foolish  men, 
and  slow  of  heart  to  believe* in 
all  that  the  prophets  have  spoken  ! 
26  Behooved  it  not  the  Christ  to 
suffer  these  things,  and  to  enter 
into  his  glory  ?  &  And  beginning 
from  Moses  and  from  all  the 
prophets,  he  interpreted  to  them 
in  all  the  scriptures  the  things 
concerning  himself.  ^  And  they 
drew  nigh  unto  the  village,  whither 
they  were  going  :  and  he  made  as 
though  he  would  go  further. 
wAnd  they  constrained  him,  say- 
ing, Abide  with  us  ;  for  it  is  to- 
ward evening,  and  the  day  is  now 
far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to 
abide  with  them.  3°  And  it  came 
to  pass,  wheh  he  had  sat  down 
with  them  to  meat,  he  took  the 
*  bread  and  blessed  ;  and  breaking 
it  he  gave  to  them.  81  And  their 
eyes  were  opened,  and  they  knew 
him  ;  and  he  vanished  out  of  their 
sight.  32  And  they  said  one  to 
another,  Was  not  our  heart  burn- 
ing within  us,  while  he  spake  to 
us  in  the  way,  while  he  opened 
to  us  the  scriptures  ?  ^  And  they 
rose  up  that  very  hour,  and  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem,  and  found  the 
eleven  gathered  together,  and 
them  that  were  with  them,  S4  say- 
ing, The  Lord  is  risen  indeed,  and 
hath  appeared  to  Simon.  ^  And 
they  rehearsed  the  things  that  hap- 
pened in  the  way,  and  how  he  was 
known  of  them  in  the  breaking  of 
the  bread.

be  unto  you.  37  But  they  were 
terrified  and  affrighted,  and  sup- 
posed that  they  had  beheld  a  spirit.

heart  ?  39  See  my  hands  and  my 
feet,  that  it  is  I  myself:  handle

The  Appearance  in  Galilee 

XXVIII  :  16-20. 

16  But  the  eleven  disciples  went 
into  Galilee,  unto  the  mountain 
where  Jesus  had  appointed  them. 
17  And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
*  worshipped  him  ;  but  some 
doubted.  18  And  Jesus  came  to 
them  and  spake  unto  them,  say- 
ing, All  authority  hath  been  given 
unto  me  in  heaven  and  on  earth. 
19  Go  ye  therefore,  and  make  dis- 
ciples of  all  the  nations,  baptizing 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Father 
and  of  the  Son  and  of  the  Holy 
Spirit :  20  teaching  them  to  ob- 
serve all  things  whatsoever  I  com- 
manded you  :  and  lo,  I  am  with 
you  *  always,  even  unto  *  the  end 
of  the  world. 


said  this,  he  showed  them  his 
hands  and  his  feet.  41  And  while 
they  still  disbelieved  for  joy,  and 
wondered,  he  said  unto  them, 
Have  ye  here  anything  to  eat  ? 
42  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a 
broiled  fish*.  43And  he  took  it, 
and  ate  before  them. 

Final  Address  of  the  Risen 
Jesus. 

XXIV  :  44-49. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them,  These 
are  my  words  which  I  spake  unto 
you,  while  I  was  yet  with  you, 
that  all  things  must  needs  be  ful- 
filled, which  are  written  in  the 
law  of  Moses,  and  the  prophets, 
and  the  psalms,  concerning  me. 
44  Then  opened  he  their  mind, 
that  they  might  understand  the 
scriptures;  46and  he  said  unto 
them,  Thus  it  is  written,  that  the 
Christ  should  suffer,  and  rise 
again  from  the  dead  the  third 
day  ;  47  and  that  repentance  *  and 
remission  of  sins  should  be  preached 
in  his  name  unto  all  the  *  nations, 
beginning  from  Jerusalem.  48  Ye 
are  witnesses  of  these  things. 
49  And  behold,  I  send  forth  the 
promise  of  my  Father  upon  you: 
but  tarry  ye  in  the  city,  until  ye 
be  clothed  with  power  from  on 
high.

Supplementary  Conclusion 

XVI  :  9-20. 

(The  two  oldest  Greek  manuscripts, 
and  some  other  authorities,  omit  from 
ver.  9  to  the  end.  Some  other  author- 
ities have  a  different  ending  to  the 
Gospel.) 

9  *  Now  when  he  was  risen 
early  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
he  appeared  first  to  Mary  Magda- 
lene, from  whom  he  had  cast  out 
seven  demons.  10  She  went  and 
told  them  that  had  been  with  him, 
as  they  mourned  and  wept.  nAnd 
they,  when  they  heard  that  he 
was  alive,  and  had  been  seen  of 
her,  disbelieved. 

12  And  after  these  things  he 
was  manifested  in  another  form 
unto  two  of  them,  as  they  walked, 
on  their  way  into  the  country. 
13  And  they  went  away  and  told 
it  unto  the  rest :  neither  believed 
they  them. 

14  And  afterward  he  was  mani- 
fested unto  the  eleven  themselves 
as  they  sat  at  meat ;  and  he  up- 
braided them  with  their  unbelief 
and  hardness  of  heart,  because 
they  believed  not  them  that  had 
seen  him  after  he  was  risen. 
15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Go  ye 
into  all  the  world,  and  preach  the 
*  gospel  to  the  whole  creation.  ]6  He 
that  believeth  and  is  baptized  shall 
be  saved  ;  but  he  that  disbelieveth 
shall  be  condemned.  17  And  these 
signs  shall  accompany  them  that 
believe  :  in  my  name  shall  they 
cast  out  demons  ;  they  shall  speak 
with  *new  tongues  ;  18  they  shall 
take  up  serpents,  and  if  they 
drink  any  deadly  thing,  it  shall  in 
no  wise  hurt  them  ;  they  shall  lay

blessed  them.  fil  And  it  came  to 
pass,  while  he  blessed  them,  he

down  at  the  right  hand  of  God.
